Chapter Twenty-Three
Do You Fear Failure?
Think for a moment, what are you afraid of?
Are you afraid of failure? Are you afraid to aim for success? Are you afraid to chase your dreams?
Now think, what would you do if you had no fear? What could you achieve? Who could you become?
A friend of mine and I were having a conversation once in regards to fear and he said to me, “Have you ever stopped to think of how capable we all could be if we had confidence in our own ability? If we had confidence in who we are, what we can achieve and what we are really worth? If we had confidence to not second guess ourselves and just go for gold every time without hesitation? Sure you would fail but failing is often considered to be learning, learning right from wrong and different perspectives upon how you can achieve your desired outcome.”

Anybody can feel positive and motivated and uplifted when the bills are paid, when friendships are restored and when success is achieved, however real strength comes when we can remain positive, motivated and uplifted even in the darkest of times. For in these dark times is where learning takes place, it is where a light of hope will flicker with the urge for it to be turned into a flame, it is where the most vulnerable aspects of your individual self will be shown. But most importantly it is where you need to remind yourself to never give up, to raise your head up high and see all the possibilities for greatness, for success, for achievement. It is where you need to keep on keeping on and tell yourself, ‘I’m not going to let this destroy me.’ For, “the moment you are about to give up, is usually the moment something great is about to happen.”- Lorna
