I wasn`t planning to write anything this week and then last night my good friend Neil Uttamsingh posts this on Facebook:
"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot...and missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why...I succeed." - Michael Jordan
It blew me away.
It`s 1:30 am as I am writing this post.
Few days ago I was looking at a YouTube video about an upcoming movie based on a book I am currently reading, I will tell you about it in another time. One of the people in it said: ` This book is not about learning as much as it is about forgetting what we`ve learned. It`s as simple as that.`
Another friend, Ian Szabo, posted this on his Facebook: `Fear is the roadmap.`
So, at this point you may be asking ` what is the point of all this?
I`ve been thinking quite a bit about FEAR lately.
FEAR about saying the wrong thing.
FEAR about writing something that may offend or upset some of you.
FEAR of just making the wrong move. In many aspects of my life.
And I watch myself almost from six feet away and ask - Are you afraid? What are you afraid of?
How would Michael Jordan take his 7,856[sup]th[/sup] shot, knowing and thinking that he missed 7,855 times? That`s a trick question. He doesn`t.
FEAR is something we learn.
The problem is when it becomes our `guiding light`. That`s when we must forget and step into FEAR and find true opportunity and power.
Is there any fear you have around investment real estate, tenants and issues?
Don`t be afraid to post a comment below
