This video begins with the cameraman asking a pretty startling question; it's so abrasive and uncomfortable that nearly every single person being asked needs to "take a second" before they can properly formulate a response. The question: "What one thing in life holds you back?"
While the answers are fairly simple, perhaps even quite generic, each participant has a different response. Any one of us has understood the pains behind each one of these "walls," and each and every one of us, at one time or another, has come close to giving up when facing these life problems.
Fear of failure, uncertainty, change, making a mistake, disappointment: Everyone in this video has a whole life leading up to this fear, and each fear is specially tailored just to them. But each fear is understandable and approachable. Many of us have trouble dealing with money, or lack of it, and life always seems to be about figuring out those "if only," scenarios or "one day" daydreams.
Well, the people at LiveUnbound have come up with a new slogan: "Follow your Fears." One of the guys in the videos said how much he needs to just move to New York so he can start his life. And if he just decides to do it, and if he follows those fears, then he doesn't have to quit his daydream.
For too many of us, these walls in life seem to grow taller with each passing day, but when we finally decide to make the jump, it isn't the fear of failure that we'll end up regretting, but it's the fact that we never tried at all. Even if you don't manage to jump over your biggest walls, at least you can proudly say that you did your best.
And doing your best in life is what living is really all about.
Please SHARE this inspiring video if you think we should all follow our fears!
