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.
And all of this choice becomes paralyzing in its own way. All of these options create chaos in our mind.
So when you really take a minute to look at someone who is chasing their dreams, you can begin to appreciate the rarity of commitment.
They 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.
And yet, by playing it safe...
They of course avoid getting hurt...
But also prevent themselves from being everything and anything they could have been if they really had actually dove headfirst into what they always dreamed of. They stop themselves from looking bad, but they never get to see the light of what they could have been.
And for many, by the time they realize that they had been living in this story, it is far too late.
So go hard in life. Go after it. Go after whatever you want to do in your life because you really only have one shot at it.
If you crash and burn, you learned. You learned how something doesn't work and therefore you have the ability to move forward and figure out a way that it will work.
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 to learn that lesson is priceless.
