Finish something you started.

My grandmother on a motorcycle. circa 1920’s or ’30’s. Have you ever talked yourself out of doing something that you felt passionate about? Have you ever bought into others’ advice, even though it was contrary to your own beliefs? If you answered yes to either question then you are like most of us humans, and you second-guess yourself by buying into your fears. Now ask yourself – Did anything good ever come out of NOT doing something? Other than stopping yourself from following foolish pursuits that may have put you in harms way, stopping yourself probably never led to a positive outcome.
