Some of the most influential people in history were told – numerous times by numerous people – that they would fail and they should just stop trying. And then they went on to do something great.
These people knew their potential, followed their passion, and persevered through the self-doubt and the criticism of others. It’s not easy, but it’s possible, and all it takes is one step to set your goals in motion. Once you see your progress, you’ll be inspired to take the next steps.
The message of this short video is clear: “If you’ve never failed, you’ve never lived.” It’s time to get out there and live. And when you fail, keep going until you succeed.
