Fear of Failure, is Failure in Disguise


Fear of failure, is failure in disguise. 

If you fear that you’ll fail, then you’ve already failed.

Thus making you fall from the greatness that the failure was supposed to bring you.

I feared failure for so long that I failed my self and my family but rejecting what I know I was born to do.

I was born to sing, to perform and I refused to because I was so afraid that I’d mess up on stage. 

Fail. 

Everytime I refused, I failed. 

Everytime I was scared to fail, I failed.

I was a failure because I was afraid of being the very thing I was afraid of . 

Fail.

You can not let fear rule your life.

Fail.

You can not let fear rule your life.

Fail. 

I let it rule mine. 

Fail.

Its okay to fail. 

But don’t fail because you were so afraid of doing it in the first place.

Thank you.
