Have you heard the famous exert from one of Theodore Roosevelt's speak about 'The Man in the Area'?

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

In todays 'Friday Fire' I discuss how doubt kills more dreams then failure ever could. We all have dreams, whether grand or small, though why don't we act of them more often? It is the doubt, the fear of failure or the 'demons of the mind' as I like to call it, that too often keeps us from chasing out dreams. So lets all face the doubt and march forward, as Theodore Roosevelt says, "if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Go forth and chase your dreams!
