Overcoming Challenges, Surpassing Difficult Experiences, Helps Us Grow, And Gives Us Confidence In Ourselves

"Overcoming Challenges, Surpassing Difficult Experiences, Helps Us Grow, And Gives Us Confidence In Ourselves." - David Julio Wang

Nearly everyday in life you find yourself encountering an experience which challenges you,
something which you feel drawn to, but isn't easy to do.

You don't have to do this challenging thing.
I know this for a fact.
My whole life has been full of being afraid of doing things which I felt drawn to,
which I felt would challenge me to grow,
which I could SEE making me experience something that would make me more than what I am...
but, most of the time, I give in to the voice which is afraid, afraid of pain and suffering.

But, perhaps what I need, what all of us need is some simple clarity.
The clear understanding that, overcoming experiences which frighten us, makes us grow, and gives us confidence in ourselves.
And with growth,
with confidence,
we can tap into our potential,
and make our dreams come true.

(God knows our insane, hyper-competitive, Capitalist, culture of fear society isn't going to be of much help in making us grow or giving us confidence. So, we are pretty much on our own.Good luck to you and me.)

When A Crazy Impulse Occurs To You, Something You Know Would Be Considered Socially Unacceptable, Tell People About It

"When A Crazy Impulse Occurs To You, Something You Know Would Be Considered Socially Unacceptable, Tell People About It." - David Julio Wang

"And, If You Are Ready, If You Can Overcome Your Fear, Do That Crazy Impulse."
you will have done more than I have been able to...

We live in a culture of fear.
We are all very afraid, all the time.
Afraid of being hurt.
Afraid of being rejected.
Afraid of being ostracized.
Afraid.
Afraid.
Afraid.

At times, crazy ideas come into our heads, something strange and outrageous that possesses us because of an intense need to challenge this world of mindlessness and mediocrity,
a world where we feel unwelcome and judged constantly,
it is no wonder that a howling beast arises in us that wants to cry out against this stifling purposelessness.

...I have never been able to bring myself to step out in this way...
am I a coward?
...i don't think so...i believe that if something is important enough to me, i will rise up to challenge the status quo.
still...it would be nice to grow beyond my limitations...

If you cannot bring yourself to do that crazy thing you know will not be acceptable in society,
perhaps, you can at least let other people know about the passions that pulse within you,
and then...maybe something will come up.
