My biggest fear is not to fail, not to lose everything I’ve work my whole life for… A life long lesson I made my first decision (for myself) at the age of 30, before that every decision was influenced by status quo, cultural expectations and conditioning from my surroundings. I only found photography at the age of 28, two years later I quit my 6 years engineering job that I worked my whole life for at the age of 30. It was then that I realised I spent 30 years of my life living someone else’s dreams. Can you believe that quitting engineering at the age 30 was the very first decision I have ever made that was based on what I wanted to do not what I’m scared of? At that time I started to reflect and asked myself, “if today were the last day of my life would I do what I’m about to do today?” I realised that my biggest fear is not to fail or to lose everything I have worked for. I still have those in my mind and luckily it is my fear of regrets that kept pushing me forward through the hardest time. It’s what’s pushed me through when I have $0 on my bank account, even when I have to sell my house because I can’t pay my mortgage. My biggest fear is to look back on my dying bed and to think, “what if? What could’ve been if…?” We can never live without fear, it helps us to stay humble, keep us in check. However when fear become the driver of our life then it becomes unhealthy. Limit us from our true potential and dreams. That’s why it is important to find the courage within the fear, to push past the limiting voice that had been stopping us to move forward. To believe in ourselves and our journey.
