When I was young, I wanted to be a rock star.
Not a pseudo-celebrity social media rock star…
A real rock star.
I didn’t become a rock star because I didn’t try.
I told myself I couldn’t do it, or maybe I was simply afraid to fail.
Knowing what I know now, I know I could have done it.
Knowing what I know now, I know I can do anything I truly want to do.
Not that it’ll be easy… just that it’s doable.
Listen.
Skip directly to what you truly want to do.
Don’t substitute.
Don’t settle.
Do.

Thanks, Brian!
Beautiful. Just do.

Wow. See, this is why I like you, Brian. At Lateral Action and in comments. And via email.
Inspiring in form, powerful in content, driving in rhythm.
I'd love to have an entry from you in my contest, by the way.
Peace.

Straight to the point. Easy to Digest.
Loved it!
So, does it mean that you *are* going to become a real rock star, because you still have an opportunity as long as you live? Will you do what you preach?
People shouldn't be afraid of failure. They should be afraid of looking back at the end of their lives and realizing they didn't even try.
Yura, my ambitions have changed since I was young. But yes, I practice what I preach.
DO must be on the brain for a lot of us today!
F*ck yes.
Not the most delicate of responses, I know, but that is exactly my reaction to this post.
F*ck yes.
Thank you, Brian.
