On May 31st, Armers Moncure gave a “passioned” speech about not cheating yourself of the opportunity to not just be passionate about your work, but to work in your passion. He said that fear may put a strangle-hold on us and prevent us from even trying. The fear of losing stability, control, and continuity. The fear of failure. He has an enthralling true story about how this happened to him. Like us, he was forced into it. It is actually easier to take a risk like this when you have nothing, than when you think you are putting all your chips on the table and knowing it could affect not just you, but your loved ones as well. When you have that steady income, but it is from doing a job that is not your passion, it is very hard to jump ship to the unknown where you could lose your house, your car, your life, if you fail. Armers does have an answer for that: You can’t fail if you are doing what you love and give it everything you’ve got.
