Response To Derek Clark's Video 'Believe'

It goes without saying, that fear is inevitable and holds people back from doing great things in life. Moreover, sometimes people want so much to be successful, but they don't know how to overcome fear and being scared that stops them from achieving greatness. However, while there's no denying the fact that you cannot stop being afraid, you can take a number of measures for properly planning for fear. Besides, in addition to the fact that fear motivates you, it is also common to progress.

I really enjoyed the “Think and Grow Rich-A Black Choice” video. The speaker Dennis Gimbro was very engaging, and interesting. The essential message I acquired from the video was “Failure is not failure until you accept it as such.” What I take from this is, just because someone has “failed” at a single thing, does not mean they have failed overall, in fact, it does not even have to mean they have failed. The “failure” can be a lesson; it is common to hear the phrase “people learn from their mistakes,” and this is kind of what I relate to this, people learn from their failures. If ones makes it so, it possible to take a mistake, or a failure, and to analyze what went wrong, how the situation can be improved, and how one can better themselves. That is what I think Gimbro is saying; if you fail, do not give up, keep trying and pushing as hard as you can, and turn that failure into a success. However, you accept that you have failed, and give up, quit trying,

Not everyone live their life as they want, some just go by the flow. Some people want to live or do more than other. To do what you want to do one need a lot of courage and willpower. If you have faith in yourself and have support of some loved one you can do anything. Like, in the poem survivorman, everybody give up except two mens. They both have hand on each others back so they decided to walk 25 miles and cross the desert. For example in true diary, Junior was living in rez like every other person, but he wants more. Due to his teacher and parents support, he was able to go to Reardan which was 22 miles from the reservation. One must have courage to achieve what they want.

Life is full of challenges, everyday you won't know what kind of problem you will face next. When I was young and still learning about my life in this world, every problem and challenge were stressful to me. I know that feeling of losing hope, but instead of just letting it be, I got back up and faced my problem. It’s a great feeling to have the power to do something that I once thought was impossible. I consider myself a person who lacks determination. I used to just give up on something that was too challenging for me to accomplish or approach. But the worse feeling about giving up is not that you gave up, but It’s that you looked down on yourself and didn’t believe in your own ability. It doesn't matter if other people look down on you, but you should never

this, you chose to do that, that's how it works. Fear limits our choices in our lives. In our current

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” At the end of my life, I will wonder if I have fulfilled all of the purposes that I was meant to. Was I brave enough to follow a passion? Did I care so much about those around me that I was willing to give anything up for them? Was I courageous enough for others to say that even though I didn’t always reach the moon, I landed among the stars? The purpose of this essay is to communicate the values that are most important to me, the next steps I will take in my journey including the skills I need to improve on and, as I mentioned before, how I hope to be remembered when I am gone.

Successful people you will generally hear them reference the fact that one of their greatest motivating forces was in fact fear of failure. Their fear drove them to work harder and leave no stone unturned. This is a great example of how a potential negative force can be turned into a powerfully positive motivating factor.

Since adolescence, we needed the support of others; we were ignorant to nearly everything around us. From the simplicity of sitting up, to learning math concepts, we are dependent on guidance. We walk on a painted path, but as we grow, we begin to to stray, and shape our own road. A road that has been set by others, but molded by ourselves. I want to set a positive path for myself, built by the people and experiences I care about.

“ To persevere is important to everybody. Don’t give up. Don’t give in. There is always an answer to everything.” ~ Louis Zamperini

-I really liked this video. I agreed with most, if not all, of what the guy had to say. When he talks about “who am I” what he said about human beings given the highest intellect of all living things, it really makes you think. We are given this by God, and we choose to make decisions, which is actually really scary, because those decisions determine where we spend out eternity: with or without God. I think my favorite part of the “where am I.” This speaker really

When people take risks, they can be scared because they have no idea how the outcomes will turn out to be. Remaining cautious lets

people become scared when their personal desires conflict with what is acceptable and it can cause an internal conflict that may lead to them abandoning their desires.

In life, there will always be obstacles along the way and sometimes they can and will break us down, mentally and physically. Negative events are inevitable, but how we decide to deal with them, determines who we are. Since I was a child, I was told to face my fears, and not run away from them, fearing what they might bring. In a way, those same ideologies would take part in my adult life, I began to use those same resiliency skills in order to become a better person, both in school and in life. By becoming exposed to certain concepts like the ATC model and the RTR techniques, I can say that I have overcame certain bumps along the road and how I transcended from those certain moments in my life to becoming somewhere closer to the person someday I hope to be.

In many ways we live in an age where fear is the driving motivator for so many. It’s crippling, it’s debilitating, and I can fill in the blank with many other descriptors. I really believe that fear is the force that blocks us from coming to what is truly our destiny.

Fear just stops a person from living their life. Fears just another obstacle in life that is meant to be handled through persistence and confidence. The quote by Jim Morrison stood out to me because Morrison is telling his readers that once someone faces their fears nothing is holding the person back. Fear is an obstacle people can’t overcome because it scares them to continue the path that would help them grow in themselves. For example, my fear of blood stops me from helping my parents care for injured animals.
