Afraid To Succeed

There is a deep emptiness that we have in our lives. Life is not meaningful unless you take control of your own. I know what you’re thinking; what would happen if I took control. What would I do if I knew I could not fail? Some will never know. Fear is what holds so many great ones back. Being afraid is paralyzing to the soul. So I say to you everyone throughout their life has been afraid of something whether it be stage fright, the boogie man, the big bully, falling in love, death, or what others think. We are all at some point in our lives paralyzed by fear, and running on empty. Empty is being hollow; having no substance. Some live life without knowing what comes next. Others take control of what comes next. While the wealthiest invent what comes next, and the rest just sit and watch. All of these people play an intrinsic role in life; without one what would the other do.
