MONEY MATTERS

If everyone fails at something and even successful people fail frequently, why do some of us shrink from the idea? In a society full of win-lose propositions, it may come down to what we imagine failure says about us- and the feelings that evokes. People experience different things when they fail: It may be humiliation; it may be disappointment and what they don’t want to experience is that feeling.
A lot of people think they are afraid of failure, but what they are really afraid of is success. They know how to handle failure, because they have probably failed often, but they don’t know how success would feel and so they stick with what they know. Go out and embrace failure and try to fail three times, then failure becomes something to achieve instead of something to avoid. Then you are freed up to do something different.
Most successful people in the industry, people at the top of the game, had all the money in the world, but behind the scenes families were falling apart, children didn’t love their parents, there were drug and alcohol issues. This is not definition of success.
