Fear of Failure.

There is a reason we are all afraid of action. It is because we all fear failure. School has engrained this in our minds. That failure is wrong. For it to be avoided it at all costs.

I’m sure you already know, but in case you don’t, failure is good.

Working towards something and failing is giving you a feedback that you must reiterate and rework.

That you must change something to peel back the layers to get at the core of the results your looking for.

It is, of course, one thing to say that, to understand and ponder this thought, than it is to practice and act through this mantra.

Well. I begin by asking you this question. What is the very essence of self improvement?

It’s to improve. Right? As corny as that sounds.

It is unrealistic to set yourself to the expectation that in one giant leap you will get all that you want.

No. You must take the first step.

It is this first step that begins the journey.

…And I would be wrong in saying that this isn’t the toughest step.

My purpose for writing this is to sow the seed of inspiration in your mind. To get after your desires, your dream.

To reap good fruit, and to cull doubts.

Because I am trying to do just the same.

Now, get after it.
