Coelho on Hobbling Fear

Posted Monday, April 5, 2010 in Quotes  |  Be first to comment

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

–Paulo Coelho (1947 – )
Brazilian writer

Sales thought…

Comfort. Risk. Both are enjoyable.

One we strive to create. One we try to minimize.

One can make us lazy. One can make us stronger.

When did you last risk failure? When did you last leave your comfort zone?

212 challenge… Step out of your comfort zone once more each week and create over 50 additional opportunities for excitement, challenge and possibility each year. This is what life’s about.

It’s been said that youth is wasted on the young. By taking risks, we assure life isn’t wasted on the living.

(from the book, 212° the extra degree® — 3.5-minute video version here)

Today’s quote is from Coelho’s modern classic, The Alchemist — a great little parable about following one’s dreams — an inspiration to millions of people (including your Just Sell cofounders).
