Avoiding failure is the best way to increase your chances of it. Working well through failure is a much more secure way to, not necessarily experience less failure, but achieve more and better over time. The highest levels of success still experience a frequent failure. It just gets accelerated through and put to better use.
Fear of failure and disappointment in defeat can control your mind and direct your entire life if you allow it.
It’s interesting how people convince themselves that not trying, and therefore not achieving, is better than trying and having a chance to fail or achieve. The first option guarantees failure, yet people don’t fear it. Why? Because it doesn’t bring the potential for the real fears: rejection, loss of image, and ego damage.
It turns out if you aren’t worried about rejection, image, or ego, there is little to fear in the failure and everything to gain in the opportunity.
You get to choose your response. Even if you never got to choose your circumstance.
Embrace the chase. Do the work.
