The problem with our concepts of failure and success is that people think that you are either completely one or the other. This is a flawed reasoning, and it keeps a lot of people from realizing their potential and moving forward with their lives and their goals! The truth of the matter is that just because you are one doesn't mean that you cannot be the other, and this should give hope to people who are currently at the bottom and it should serve as a warning to the people who are currently at the top! Whether you are currently wondering whether you are always going to fail or you are successful and dead terrified of failing, there are a few things that you should be aware of.
The first thing that you need to think about is that nothing is absolute. No matter how well you do, or how high you fly, there is always the chance that you are going to fall. There are many people who are interested in being a success, but one thing that holds them back is the consequences of what happens if they have somehow mis-planned, or if some sort of bad luck will occur just when they are getting ready to get launched. Because they are so afraid of failure, they find that they would far rather stay right where they are than to take the risk and move ahead. When you are ready to give something a shot, you need to be aware that even though failure is an option, it is not something that you cannot survive!
Another important thing that you need to remember is that failure can also be a useful experience for you. If you feel that you have failed in the past, make sure that you pause and think about what happened there. Even if the only lesson that you learn is a very specific one, remember that it is still a lesson. You will learn from everything that happens to you, and even failure can teach you a lot about yourself. For instance, you know that if you can survive this happening once, you will be able to survive it again. You can use this as a foundation of strength to get yourself back to where you want to be, and it can serve you very well as time goes on.
They do say that it takes a lot of courage and strength to succeed, but you will find that it is just another way of saying that you are ready for the worst that can happen. When you take risks, you will find that there are consequences that are waiting for you should things go poorly. If you ignore them, you are going to be blindsided and disturbed if anything unlucky or unfortunate happens, but on the other hand, if you can look at it squarely and continue on your way, you can get great strength from it.
Remember that every success comes with a chance of failure, but don't let that stop you. Only by facing your fear of failure and acknowledging that it is there can you hope to really soar!
