This morning…Bertha…whispered this fact to me…

The number one cause of failure…is…the fear of failure

Now…she didn’t have any statistics to back that up…she hasn’t done any fancy studies…but…her logic made sense…it went something like this…

When I’m afraid of failing at something…I rarely start it…

I mean…why would I want to do something when I think I’m gonna failhello

I whined…but she ignored me…and continued to tell me…that the only time I am assured of failure…is when I never try…never start…never give it a shot…

And…she said…that even when I am not successful in the way that I had hoped…it really wasn’t a failure…it was an effort…and…all efforts…no matter how small…are steps towards success…

Hmmm…seems I’ve made a lot of steps towards success in my life…enough in fact…that I might just be getting close…
