Forget about the safety net

The sense of safety is comforting.
Someone to hold you if you fall, maybe a net to fall into. Takes much of the stress, gives you an alternative, a plan B.
Have you thought that this sense of safety might be holding you back, limiting your true potential?
Shocking realization, I know...
Many historic accomplishments were made possible exactly because of the absence of that safety net. If you do not have something to fall back into, the only way is forward. No looking back, with strong resolve, no option of failure.
Of course you may accomplish wonderful things with the safety net being there to “protect” you.
But can you deny that this safety occupies a part of your mind, manifesting as the possibility of failure?
That voice that whispers in your ear percentages of defeat?
“It is ok if you fail...”
The most miraculous accomplishments in history are the privilege of people who had only one option.
To fall forward.
Fill your mind with just thoughts of success. This way you train it to seek ways to reach that success.
Much like training a muscle.
And a powerful mind is practically invincible!
