Life it seems, is often not like our North American society portrays it. I feel like we’ve been conditioned to believe that we can have anything that we want, right now. Things don’t come that quickly though. At least not things that really matter. Our greatest asset is time. The secret formula for success is effort + time. Remove time from the equation and failure is certain.
I was reading a key note speech about stuttering by John C. Harrison. It is hard to relay to you, the fellow reader, how much I would want to be rid of my speech woes. However John’s speech only confirmed what I had reasoned to be true. I don’t stutter in the typical sense. I have a hexagon of influences that comprise my fear of blockage. I know what I want to accomplish and I want to accomplish it now. But I realize that I’m not going to just wake up one morning and be rid. I have to adjust my character, my personality. To rid myself of my biggest anchor will take a change to my overall psyche.
I have missed out things in life because I’ve often chosen the safest road. But like John writes it is good to be counter phobic. Compound that with the understanding that failure is almost a requirement of success, and with time success is guaranteed. So is utter failure but the only thing that has to be put on the line, is the personal ego, nothing more.
I will get rid of my stutter and yesterday was when a new chapter in my life began.
