If you are really passionate about something but feel yourself stuck in something you are not meant to do, you need to start taking action. And the action must be taken now!
1. Want To Be Extraordinary?
Accept Failures!

2. Do you come across people who
complain all day about their lives, but
don’t do a thing to change it? These are
the people whose lives are fraught with
inaction, and they lead a life that is
unsatisfying and unfulfilling.
3. Though they talk nineteen to a dozen
and find faults with everyone and
everything around them, they are
scared that if they take the first step
towards changing their own life, they
will meet with failure.
4. They simply dread the idea of stepping
out of the self-made protective cocoon
that they have built around themselves
and simply spend their entire lives
complaining. You would not want to be
grouped with these kind of people,
wouldn't you?
5. It is easier said than done though, as
there is no shortcut to success. So if
you are really passionate about
something but feel yourself stuck in
something you are not meant to do, you
need to start taking action. And the
action must be taken now!
7. In the words of Theodore Roosevelt "Far
better it is to dare mighty things, to win
glorious triumphs, even though
checkered with failure, than to take
rank with those poor spirits who neither
enjoy much nor suffer much, because
they live in the grey twilight that knows
not victory nor defeat."
8. Roosevelt in these immortal lines urges
everyone to take chances. Taking
chances is the one thing you need to do
in order to start leading a better life!
9. By taking chances, we don’t mean that
you should risk putting up all of your
life’s savings in a casino! By taking
chances, we mean stepping out of your
comfort zone and doing what you have
always dreamed of!
10. For instance, if you have always wanted
to be a writer, do not be afraid of your
manuscript getting rejected. Write for
yourself, write from your heart and just
as the nightingale did with the rose,
colour your stories with the last drop of
blood in your heart!
12. When you follow a life of passion, you
will see that even the Universe will
conspire to make things happen in your
favour. Good things will automatically
fall into place for those people who
have really decided to follow their
passion, despite the difficulties and
challenges ahead.
13. But until you muster up all the courage
in you and step out, you will never
really know what taking chances is all
about!
14. Many people are afraid to take risks and
remain comfortable in their current
status in life, but you must also
remember that that is exactly why their
lives remain mediocre. Nothing that
they do is ever path breaking! And they
have the nerve to complain why life is
so boring (or even depressing)!
15. Imagine what would have happened if
Bill Gates or Steve Jobs had not taken
the chances they did in life, or if
Thomas Alva Edison gave up the
invention of light bulb just because he
failed! Yes, Edison failed not once, not
twice, but more than 10,000 times
before he came up with the invention
that is lighting up our lives right now!
16. So you see, failure is inevitable. When
you try your hand at something new,
there are bound to be obstacles and
setbacks, but failure (as the age old
saying goes) is indeed the stepping
stone to success.
17. Don’t be afraid of failure. It's better to
fail a thousand times to achieve a one-
time success, than to never fail nor
succeed at anything!
18. So step out with enthusiasm, live life with
excitement, do great things for others,
take your chances and be
extraordinary... else you will be the
person whose tombstone will read
something like “Here lies Kris, who
lived a normal life and died a normal
person!”
