So I'm saying that as you begin to look at where you want to go, if you want to make it today, and things are changing so fast you have to literally run to stand still, I'm saying that you've got to make some conscious effort to begin to work to develop you.

Here's something else.

Most people are not living their dreams because of fear, ladies and gentlemen.

Fear, limited vision, and lack of self-esteem.

is what keep most people doing things they don't want to do.

The same reason that people stay in relationships where they're abused or they're unhappy or it's unfulfilling.

They can't see themselves beyond that relationship.

They can't see themselves enjoying life without that person.

They think that this is all that they can do.

The same reason that people get stuck at a certain level in life.

They can't see things being better for them.

And they think that this is it and this is all they deserve.

This is all they've ever seen.

It's been passed on to them.

And they think that this is it for them.

Fear kills dreams.

Fear kills hope.

And I ask you a question, what is the benefit?

What's the benefit of allowing fear to hold you back?

What's the benefit of giving up on yourself?
