FAILURE IS A COMPANION FOR LIFE

“We are the offspring of history, and must establish our own paths in this most diverse and interesting of conceivable universes—one indifferent to our suffering, and therefore offering us maximum freedom to thrive, or to fail, in our own chosen way.”-Stephen Jay Gould

Man is a fearful creature.

We possess many fears, and these are legitimate.

Fears of poverty.

Fears of loss.

Fears of wounds and injuries.

But the greatest fear? The one that many refuse to admit to? The one that exists in the corner of our mind’s eye?

The fear of failure.

This is a crippling fear that defeats countless people before they even begin. It breaks down inner barriers, corrupts the ability to take outer action, and infects an individual with a poison that there is no cure for.

This poison pulls the mind in a variety of different directions, none of them good.

What if they laugh at me?

What if they ridicule me?

What if they never let this go?

What will they think of me?

What will they say about me?

But the reality of the situation? The fact of the matter? The truth?

Fear of failure is the silliest fear of them all.

Why?
