What you think you can do, you can do

Do you think you can draw but don't have the courage to do so? You think you can sing but you lack courage to carry it out. These and many more are the instances of what most people suffer and later on backslide to failure. Been able to carry out your talent is what courage is all about. Whatever you think you can do, summon courage and work towards it now. Most people are living an unfulfilled life because they don't have the courage to exhibit what they think they can do.

A veteran American author, Anais Nin, once said, "Life shrinks or expand in proportion to one's courage". This means the life around you will refuse to expand to your satisfaction if you don't have the courage to work towards what you think you can do. Do you think there will be airplanes in this world if nobody thought we could fly and had the courage to work towards it? Do you think we would be able to explore outer space if nobody thought we could get to other planets and had the courage to work towards it?

Those two examples look stupid! Try to imagine a world without airplane and imagine two brothers telling the whole world that they can fly. It looks stupid, doesn't it? But when they flew the first aircraft, the idea started making sense and people developed more sophisticated airplanes later on. That is how what you think you can do looks stupid to you and even people you tell until you have the courage to carry it out and excel in it. That you did it and failed in the first attempt or even first twenty attempts doesn't mean you can't do it. Keep trying and you will be a success; even an outstanding one. You can do what you think you can do. YES, YOU CAN.
