Hello Hives,
Sometimes I sit down and think about some of the things I would have achieved by now if fear was not part of my life. There are lots of things we wish to do, but when the time coms to take action, we start thinking about what could go wrong. Before we realise it, we have already convinced ourselves not to try.
If I had no fear, one of the biggest things I would actually do is pursue my dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur, especially in poultry farming. This is something that has been in my mind for a long time. I don't just want to own a poultry farm because of the money involved, I want to build something that can grow bigger and create opportunities for other people too and this has been my main goals for years.
I currently work as a plumbing technician, and although I enjoy my work, I know that farming is something I would love to venture into on a bigger level in the nearest future.
But honestly, starting a business is not as easy as people make it look. Because in a country like Nigeria where you have to think about feeding, transportation, family responsiblities and other expenses, putting money into a business can be so scary. Sometimes you ask yourself, what if I invest everything and the business fails? What if things don't go according to the way I want?
These are some of the thoughts that can make someone give up even before starting.
If fear was not holding me back, I would take more calculated risks, learn from people who are already successful in the business and gradually build the farm I have always dreamd about.
And traveling around the world has been my ambition too. I would love to travel to different places, meet new people and experience things outside my everyday routine. Life should not only be about working, paying bills and struggling to survive. I will definitely love to explore other countries.
But one thing I am beginning to understand is that fear will never completely disappear. Even people who are successful today must have experienced moments when they were afraid of taking certain decisions.
The difference is that they did not allow fear to make every decision for them.
I don't want to grow older and start regretting opportunities I never gave myself because I was afraid of failing. I may not have everything figured out today, but I want to keep tryin.
After all, failing while trying is better than spending your whole life wondering what would have happened if you had tried. And I don't want to regret later .
