Employ the Key of Confidence... Always...

Constantly second guessing yourself is very dangerous. Fortune is a woman and whoever wants her must be adventurous, as opposed to proceeding cautiously. I love the way Robert Greene shed more light on the subject of confidence in chapter 28 of his bestseller, "The 48 Laws of Power". He says, Enter Actions with Boldness: If you are unsure of a course of action, don't attempt it. Hesitation puts obstacles in your path, boldness eliminates them."

In life, not many people get second chances... It's not a Nintendo game, there's no replay button... Move ahead, forge forward with confidence and if you're lucky and you have a second chance of doing it again... Then make it better. 

I have no doubt in my mind that the human being is an amazing machine... a machine which, if maintained and efficiently maximized, can do miracles... As individuals, opportunities are limitless for those who eliminate the barriers of fear. Don't be a scientific calculator with an an owner who uses it for only basic arithmetic.

A favorite quote of mine goes thus, "On the lands of hesitation, lay the bones of countless millions who on the dawn of their victory lay down to rest, and while resting they died"...

I'll end this heartfelt rant and begin my weekend with the following Latin line: 

Nihil Timendum Est... 

Fear Nothing.
