Part 2- “Nothing Good Happens when You Hold Back”- Home Run

What good are we speaking of?

A man once shared his life story, how he came to become a fluent man, bold and a great public speaker, he said to me “I lived an intimidated and a shy life before my encounter. There was a day when a great woman, who was good enough to control an entire congregation of a church asked me to take over and control a certain aspect of the day’s service, I didn’t know how to say No, as this was what I always wish to do, and I didn’t know how to say Yes, as I didn’t have any skill nor experience in public speaking, but am sure if she asked, if I was willing to do it, I would have said yes.”

“While waiting for my time to mount the podium, I could hear my heart beats drumming. I had a cold palm, I had a dry throat. Unwillingly, I had to go to the bathroom more than twice, and the woman would say to me, “make sure you don’t go far, you time is close”.

Have you heard of this before? Some days ago, I stumble upon this phrase “Nothing good happens when you hold back” in the movie, Home Run. What does this mean, I asked myself.

So many people hold back too often. Holding back from a thing, that you know in your heart that you are capable and deserving of, has kept you from emerging in your destiny.

To hold back simply implies, refusing to take action, refusing to make a decision, refusing to make a change, refusing to take hold of opportunities.

Why do people hold back?
