Do You Believe, That You Can Fly?

“It’s impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all. In which case, you’ve failed by default.” – J.K. Rowling.

Too many pilots have lost the confidence to fly. A one time crash, or a flight instructor’s demeaning attitude has left them with the belief that taking off again is just not for them. Goals and dreams have been abandoned, either forever, or put on long term hold, because of the realisation that it would take a flight to reach them. Deep down there is a nagging fear of failure. This leaves too many potentially great pilots working as ground crew, having lost or maybe never found a belief that they could fly.

It’s simple—just think of any appropriate questions that fit the ideas and possibilities you’d like to explore, add a “What If” and then take a while, if possible in a quiet place, to think and listen for answers and directions. It is amazing how our subconscious mind loves to bring us answers to the questions we pose. It just takes us listening for them, with an open mind—and not being afraid to

    When you talk about Ancient Rome, most people think about unstoppable military force, and famous emperors like Julius Caesar, but it was much more than that. Rome was a breeding ground for many ideas and creations that would effect the world for hundreds of years, and even to this day. We stand in awe wondering at how they could've accomplished buildings like the Colosseum, and the Pantheon. These buildings had similar features that were new at the time, but would continued to be used through present day. Thats why Rome's biggest impact on the world was their structural and functional architecture because of their innovation of concrete, use of arches, and creation of domes.…

    For some people it takes forever to figure out that failure is not always a bad thing, while at the time it may seem like the end of the world. “We are all potentially capable of any human act.” (Roth 39). Even the most successful of people have failed at something at least once in their lives. Maybe consider though, that failure was what brought them back up to the best, hardest working person that they could be and it did not take long for them to retrieve what they had lost and made it ten times better!…
