Fear and Failure

There's a few things that we do that are like second nature. We fear things for strange reasons and we fail. Of course we do not fail everything and do not fear everything (well most of us!) but we all do this none the less. The main problem with these 2 subjects is that they are not just a one time occurrence. Fear just shows up out of nowhere to say hello, often at the most in opportune times. Whether it be a fear of heights when at the worlds greatest and tallest waterslide park (in san diego by the way) or finding out you have a Fear of flying right after you just won a free trip around the world!...and then we have failure, failure is not a sneaky fellow but he can be relatively unexpected. The biggest problem with failure is that it follows you around! If you fail a test that thought is with you when you go to write the next test...If you miss a shot in basketball failure is there to jump on your back and stick in your head on the next shot. Failure follows until you succeed! It sits in the back of your mind always nagging at you until you can replace that space in you mind by succeeding in the very same place you failed! Often the biggest problem with Failure and fear is that once it has happened/ felt it plagues you and thus causes the snowball effect. The people who become best at what they do find a way to push fear aside and to shrug failure off everytime and push harder to succeed! These are the people that I admire

"For as many times as I have succeeded I have failed. Having the courage to try again is what makes me the success I am" - Michael Jordan
