Sometimes in life we get a chance, when not taken, never returns. How many chances have I passed because I did not believe in myself? I know I have passed many. Now I realize, NEVER to pass up a chance when one is presented. I also know why I passed up those opportunities, the fear of mockery, the fear I was not ready. Yet, the person that provided me with the opportunity thought I was ready. Amazing that another person believed in me more than I believed in myself.
Since then, I know why. Fear… Fear of ridicule, fear of failure, fear of not being good enough. I also now know that to succeed, I must fail to succeed. If I only failed more, I would probably be more successful today. I now look to fail. I realized, that when I seek to fail, I have no fear to try, no fear to ask questions, or to do things that I would have otherwise not try, should I wanted to only succeed.
