When Fear Strikes You

When fear strikes you, know that it means you are doing what you want to do. When fear strikes you, know that it is only the fear of failure. When fear strikes you know that all you need to do is push through and you will reach the euphoria.

Fear hits me hard when I am writing. So hard that it causes tears.

Fear has caused writer's block for me.

The thing I realized is that I am afraid of failing. I am afraid of failing because there is no set path to write. Even if I do finish my novel (Dear God, I hope I do because I only need 20,000 more words.) will I be able to publish? Even if I publish, will it be a success?

It all boils down to I am afraid of failure. Failure is my fear.

What if we stopped being afraid of failure? What if we knew that failure wasn't bad, only a stepping stone on the path to success? Imagine what we would finish, the things we loved to so but stopped because society said, "You can't make it at that."

Who said that? Who came up with the stupid idea that it is bad to fail. I want to shoot you.

Fear only means that this is important. So when fear strikes you, know it is a good thing.
