Fear of Failure?


 
Does fear of failure keep you from doing something meaningful?
Perhaps, it’s really fear of success. Many people are comfortable with not taking risk. After all, how would you handle success?
People believe it is safer to stay on the current road, never veering off to search for something better. Follow everyone else, listen to what they say and believe what they tell you. In the end, everyone will complain about the same issues and most people will agree with you. After the road trip, they are dejected and done.
Successful people follow the opposite road map. They gladly travel off the beaten path, searching for opportunity. They seek advice from other successful people and accept the consequences. At the end of the journey, successful people are already looking forward to the next trip with a sense of adventure and renewed enthusiasm.
Which road would you rather travel?
Until We Meet Again,

  2. Lucille Ball said, " I'm not funny, what I am is brave." She didn't believe in luck, and she credited hard work and the ability to know an opportunity when she saw one. I think that most of us are glad for her bravery of stepping out and doing what she felt called to do.
    Let us each take up the sickle and strike out today toward that untraveled path we feel led to walk. Good blog, Jim. Keep up the good work.
