In a world full of unlimited choice, adore those who go hard for you. Commitment is a very rare thing. It's one of the rarest things of all.
We are so afraid to commit because we don't want to put ourselves on the line and screw it up. We don't want to make ourselves look stupid and do the wrong thing.
So instead of actually making a decision about things, we live in that world of choice and never end up really making a decision.
All of the choice becomes a paralysis in itself. We have so many options that we can't actually end up making a decision at all.
This makes it so rare to come across someone who is going hard for their dreams or for other people.
But most people don't want to get hurt.
They don't want to do the wrong thing. They don't want to make a fool of themselves in front of other people.
Instead, they play it safe...and because they do that...
They avoid getting hurt...
But kill everything amazing they could experience or be in the process or really diving into something fully. Sure they don't have to face the cuts and scrapes of failure, but they never get to feel elated when they finally do win.
And for many, by the time they realize that they had been living in this story, it is far too late.
So you have to actually go for what you want and dive in head first even if there's a big chance it won't work out.
Because if you don't, you will spend the rest of your life regretting the fact that you never actually took the chances you were meant to take.
And if it does finally work out for you, you get to experience what it's like to have truly believed in something and really gone for it.
And that...is priceless.
