I came across this poem today that I thought I would share with you. It has to do with courage and fear. Oftentimes, we fail to try something new because we are afraid of failure. Many businesses become stuck at a certain level because we are afraid to take the steps necessary to move forward. What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
Lights, Camera, Action
written by Walt F.J. Goodridge
What bold thing would I do today
if I knew I could not fail?
If it mattered not what people thought
would I let my heart prevail?
What secret wish would I act upon
if success were guaranteed?
Which actions would I then give life
with all mental shackles freed?
Would I speak my mind and then some
say the words I should have said
become the person I’ve always wanted
but acted out fears instead?
If my days were caught on camera
for the world to watch and view
would my performance inspire others
who wish that they could too?
Well I’ll never know from wishing
for the thought alone won’t do
The life I crave is brought to bear
by the things I choose to do
Like supporting cast without lead actor
your dreams await director’s cue
The results you seek wait in the wings
but won’t ACT until you do!
