Why Not

George Bernard Shaw said, “Some men see things as they are and say, ‘Why?’ I dream of things that never were, and say, ‘Why not?’” This quote is brimming full of excitement. It’s challenging you to strive to dream and create. It has quickly become one of my top five favorite quotes. If you dream of becoming a successful writer, then why not? If you want a better job, then why not? If you want to wear purple bell bottoms and a yellow with red polka dots shirt, then why not? What’s holding you back? Is it the fear of failure? The fear of what others might think of you? You shouldn’t care about those things because, why not? There are probably a few reasons to not chase your dream but none of them are really valid. You might think it’s too hard. Well it might be but it’s not impossible. You might think that you might fail. You only fail when you give up. Or you might think that purple bell bottoms and yellow with red polka dots shirt might clash with your blue tie. That may be true, but who cares! The important thing is that you are chasing your dream and creating your reality. Start asking yourself every morning, “why not?” When you have doubts ask “why not?” again and see where it gets you.
