The #1 Reason Why Some People Succeed While Others Never Will

There are only two reasons why we as humans do anything in life.

1. Is Pleasure. To feel good and chase after things that tends to put a smile on our faces.

2. Is Pain. To avoid getting hurt physically, mentally, or spiritually.

It is not your fault that you fear pain, because everyone has it! It is an engraved feature that was put in place for the success of the human evolution! If a friend of yours tells you that his mother was just eaten by a T-Rex, would you be jumping for joy and can't wait to see and hug a T-Rex? Of course not! So we avoid them as much as possible so we don't get eaten ourselves.

If you're reading this, chances are your top fears will be things like asking some one to go to prom, small harmless snakes/spiders, or having no internet connection.

Unfortunately, while we have all the luxuries in the world, there are kids in 3rd world countries that have to deal with their heads being cut off the next day, if they don't find certain gems that is of worth value to the market place.

We're so fortunate enough to live in one of the most wealthiest countries in the world that men have been working towards for thousands of years. Yet we still take it for granted.

I ask you, what is the benefit of not pursuing your dreams?

If you follow your dreams, you may get rejected, get yelled "No" to your face and consequent through getting criticized of your failed work.

But if we refuse our pursuit of happiness, we are already in pain! Because we're not following those dreams! Isn't that so? So you still experience pain which you tried so desperately to avoid. And if we decide to just tip-toe through life so we wont step on anyone's toes, we will never get to go where we want to go because you can't please everyone!

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."

-Bill Cosby

Here are the top 3 things that people say when they are on their death beds.

(Counting down)

3. "I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings"

2. "I wish I hadn't worked so hard"

1. "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me"

Many people die with many regrets in their lives because we all try to avoid pain.

As pain is the number one source of failure, we must learn how to rid of our fears so then we can make room for our success.

"May you always do what you are afraid to do"

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

So I'd like to ask you again, what is the benefit of not pursuing your dreams?
