Fear of Failure

“You don’t have to be great to start. But you have to start to be great.” -Zig Ziglar

Whether it’s new endeavors or continuing on a path that’s brought some turmoil before, the fear of failure is something nobody can avoid. Sometimes, the only remedy to that is to start the endeavor no matter what. When I woke up this morning, I was wondering what topic I would discuss today. Try as I may, I couldn’t think of anything. So I thought I would just write about just that; my mind being completely blank. As soon as I started to look for appropriate quotes for it, I came across today’s quote. There was another option. I could have simply enabled my writer’s block more by thinking, I’ll write something when I think of it. Forcing myself to start somewhere is what is now making this a full-length post. Ergo, whenever you’re stuck or conflicted about something, just start. It could be something you think is insignificant but you’ll never know unless you try. Do you have a fear of failure? Do you approach new endeavors reluctantly? Join this discussion by commenting below.
