i DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE PROSPECT OF FAILURE. wE HAVE TO LIVE AND WORK THE WAY WE WANT TO AND NOT BE DICTATED TO BY gOVERNMENTS, cORPORATIONS OR OUR eMPLOYERS, ALTHOUGH SADLY THE MODERN WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN IS MAKING MANY OF US, ILL, FEARFUL AND GROUND DOWN BY THE SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY IN THE ETHICS OF THE WORKPLACE and EXISTENCE.

I've been up against the " prospect of failure " on a number of occasions in my 50 yrs. . . and what do I do ? Keep moving towards my goals...and surprise...no failure to be found on after the choice to seek out my desires / goals.
The result may at times not be what was my choice...yet I tried...and how can that be a failure ? ! !
And..." What would I attempt if I knew that you could not fail " ? I'm in the midst of that as we speak...I'm writing a book about soul speech / soul language.
The book to be published or not ? Don't know that yet. But, if it's not published then it's some great journaling...If it is published others souls will be ' awakened ' more. Either way...it's a joy to write...so no " failures " to be found there.
.
The only " failure " I can see is the choice to not try and see what can happen.

I believe there's no totally failure in life & if ever it exist it is only a quitter.
When u failed & can't move on the life u've choosen coz u are deppressed & disappointed of the things that happen to u...then u are a quitter.
If u really determined to achieve the life that u wanted to be then don't let failure a hindrance to ur success rather take it as a challenge.

I think everyone has the fear of failure to a degree - some more than others. I myself am pretty confident but I do have a fear of failure in the smaller things in life. For instance - I had no fear when it came to getting into a ph.d. program. But I remember being scared that I'd be late to school - or late for anything actually. To this day I'm still like that hehe!

I've adopted the philosophy of death worship to override the constant fear I feel regarding every endeavor I undertake. By accepting that one day it is inevitable that I will expire I prioritize my fears scaled from that extreme down to the more mundane fears and by so doing I am able to walk into the fear, embrace it and turn the flight element of my persona into the fight aspect thus completing whatever life challenges meet my minds fancy. It is in fact the prospect of procrastination that keeps me from living the life I would choose, but I'll fix that up tomorrow or the next day. Namaste, the God in me sees and greets the God in You.

No, God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love and a sound and stable mind. Fear does not come from God.
It's a lie from Satan.

Professional surfing.
I have a paperweight on my desk with a very similar quote. I love it.

No guts, no glory!
(having trouble finding out who originally said that, seems to have come either from the military or the gridiron....)
