To succeed You must fail
<p>Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, as stated in Newton's third law of motion, and this couldn't be a more fitting analysis for progress.</p><p><br></p><p>Life involves a constant shift between push and pull. For change to occur, force must be applied, and this force is often met with resistance. Many people are discouraged by this obstacle, freezing in fear due to the potential shame or embarrassment associated with failure. This fear prevents them from trying, leaving them unfulfilled.</p><p><br></p><p>Frequently, the fear of failure is actually worse than the failure itself. You might wonder why a post about success mentions failing and failure more often. The answer is simple: success and failure go hand in hand. While success is the end result, failure is the teacher. It humbles you, sharpens your senses, and reveals the flaws in our otherwise great dreams. Failure is like a parent guiding a child. The child sees the world with wonder and is unable to see the dangers, but failure shows you the shortcomings in your plans.</p><p><br></p><p>The key difference between the most successful people is that they were not afraid to fail. The greatest among them knew that the bigger their dreams, the greater the chance of failure. This is why we are all in awe of those who have achieved legendary success, because we know, sense, and see that it took a level of brilliance and expertise that an average person could not possess.</p><p><br></p><p>Some people recount how they failed at almost everything they did until it all clicked. When you remove the fear of failure, your mind becomes free to try different things and methods, and to learn from your mistakes. We can also see obstacles as constructive criticism to improve what we are working on, even if it may not feel like it at the moment. This is the value of failing; it means you tried to do something. It's also important to know that you only truly fail when you give up.</p>
