The fear of failure is why people don’t like change, but the reality is that failure is not final—it’s not the end of the world if you don’t get it right. All successful people fail at some point in their lives, but they use their mistakes to make better decisions in the future.
A close family member once mocked me for a failure I endured, but that didn’t stop me. Because that same person never faced failure, let alone success. Years later as I grew older I realized that, that person never had it in them to even try, never dared to dream and thus couldn’t identify with my grit and determination. Needless to say, I continued to grow, despite the setbacks and delays I achieved my goals and it all lead to a more fulfilling life.
