Oh Wells’ are Better than What Ifs

“I would much rather live a life full of Oh Wells’ than a life full of What Ifs” ~ Smart Passive Income with Pat Flynn

Pat says we should live our life by taking the risks we need to make our dreams come true. every dream comes with many mistakes, failures and stumbling blocks. You have to make it past all of that if you truly want to make your dreams come true.

One of my favorite examples is about Thomas Edison and his quote when someone asked him how he kept going after 10,000 failures trying to invent the light bulb. He said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that it won’t work.” If we want something bad enough, we must keep trying. We must not let anyone else talk us out of trying.

In the book called “The Traveler’s Gift” Andy Andrews main character David Ponder meets Gabriel the angel. Through him he discovers a room bigger than any eye could see. This room was full of ideas, inventions, medical cures, books, movies and anything else people came up with but just never had the time, money or courage to create. Imagine the possibilities, what could be accomplished if everyone could create whatever they could dream.

Take the time today to sit down with a notebook and write down the ideas that will make your dreams come true. Then schedule the time to work on these dreams each and every day. There has to be something you can do today that will get you closer to your dream. Even if all you can do is put it on paper, then do that one small thing. Start to meet people who can help you get closer to that dream. Find others who share the same passion as you. A group of people are more likely to flush out the dreams than only one mind.

As you move forward, take the precautions you need to protect yourself from the price of possible failures. If you want to start a baking business. Start in your kitchen. Save your profits to rent a kitchen or a store front. When you earn more money, then incorporate and hire some help. Don’t let yourself be in debt in case the store fails.

If we can take the risks needed, even if we fail and have to pay the price for those failures, we will not be wondering later in life if we could ever have made those dreams come true. If we can make those dreams come true, then we will live in happiness and will be able to share that happiness with everyone around us.
