Day 4: Failure Real or Made up?

We have 2 choices that we can guide us through our fear of failure.  Failure from situations that have already occurred, and fear of failure from those events that have yet to happened.  Those events that have yet to happen, occur only in our own minds.  Do you know which is more devastating and more problematic?

Let’s look at the fear of failure from something that has yet to happen.  We develop a level of fear that amplifies a tragedy, before we have even happened.  We foresee an end that is filled with pain, a lot of wasted time, and cost us a lot of money.  An important quote:  “I trust everyone, it’s the devil inside of them I don’t trust”.  For each of us, the devil inside of us is the devil we contend with.  The devil inside of us, is telling us not to get started, you are too weak and unskilled, and you will fail.  On the surface it sounds solid and safe as though someone is watching out for us.  But in reality you have found the roadblock that will keep you from exploring and trying new things.  You have found a limitation that feeds into your fear of failing, and now you are stuck!

The courage to laugh and to continue to fail is the key to moving forward in anything.  The bigger the success, the bigger the potential to fail, and the bigger the reward.

​Don’t stop something before you’ve even tried.  “No” will always be “no”, unless you ask or try!
