CONCLUSION
Alot of people today blame themselves for what they have failed to do some years ago. The idea you failed to develop year ago may be the success story of another person that turn him/her to a rich person. Life is just about risk. The risk that money in your account into your ideas without minding what people will say, put in all your possible best for the idea to become successful and become a successful entrepreneur rather than a dreamer.
Everything you have said OP is true. It seems you were speaking to me. In some cases, it is not money that is hindering us from achieving our dreams but simple things like procrastination and fear of the unknown. We need to take risks because it is even riskier not to take risks. Ideas rule the world so if you have one execute it. There is no shame in failure because you have just gained some experience. Many great inventors and successful business executives failed so many times but they kept trying. You might be mocked or laughed at but you are better than people that never tried.
It is okay to have plans but if actualization won’t be there then that plan will just be a story you could tell to other people. We hesitate ‘coz we don’t have enough courage to do so. Indeed, the consequence which is losing, is the biggest wall we should first break in order to meet success in our roads. And with regards to other people’s judgements, it is valid if you would react into those but to rely into such subjective viewpoints won’t push you to achieve more. Things are all in our hands for sure. Every struggle as well could be resolved as long as we qould have the drive or eagerness to do so. With regards to failure, there are just people who cannot handle such consequences but if you’re aware of it then you should have not continued in the first place.
