FEAR OF FALIURE
“A moment of conscious triumph makes one feel that after nothing will really matter; a moment of realised disaster makes one feel that this is the end of everything. But neither feeling is realistic, for neither event is really what it felt to be.” Seeing part of your vision fall flat really hurts. We all have our shares of success and failures. Some people when they achieve a little success, the rush of achievement make them think that they have arrived. If you check all successful people don’t stop with their first achievement but they continued working, researching and learning new ways to improve themselves that is what has set them apart from other people that are doing the same things in the same way too. It is your level of commitment to what you are doing that counts most not your interest or passion. For you to be successful in any business, you have to see it as a business.
I started playing golf the same day as my husband but he is a much better golfer than me. It is not because he is a man and not because the number of days that he practice. He is better because of his level of commitment; interest is like a golfer (me) who practices to get the shot
right; while commitment is the golfer (my husband) who practices not to ever miss a shot.
Some people the fear of failure, stops them from trying anything to that might lead to failure. Constant fear divides the mind and causes a person to lose focus. The worst danger anyone can face is the danger of being paralyzed by doubts and fears. A person can fall many times, but won’t be a failure until he starts to blame it on other people, by saying that they pushed him down.
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows that it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up, it knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: when the sun comes up you had better be running. If you want to succeed, remember that there’s not much difference between success and failure. Here is the good news if you are willing to be doggedly persistent, you can be a success too.

fear of failure! what’s failure? and who defines what failure actually is?
the fear of failure how closely related
is it to the fear of the unknown?
are we ever thought to acknowledge failure
while growing up? is failure a normal thing?
is it wrong to fear failure or fear failing?
how do you see failure: negative or positive?
or, a combination of both factors?
sister judy2, you’ve done a nice piece once again;
and i found your golf illustration quite apt…
simple and direct in the illustrative sense of it.
will it not be very instructive for us to
understand clearly and without bias the unequivocal
meaning of fear, and then of failure…
from there, we can better appreciate what it means
in examining the fear of failure…
my humble submission!
well done, my dear sister…you keep me
coming and coming again.
