Don't Be Afraid To Fail

My dad was just transferred to another state and we had to move with him.

It was the second term of a school session and it was already 5 weeks gone into the term. 

My parents registered me in the secondary school very close to where we lived.

Prior to this time, in my previous school, I had always topped the class. It was no longer news to myself, friends and my parents to learn that I took the first position every term.

In my new school however, we were only 20 persons in my class, about half the size of my previous school. I knew I didn't need to pray for the first position. It was a small school afterall. Examination came and soon, results were out. I was shocked to find 12th as my position. It was unexpected. I had prepared or at least I thought I did.

I got home that day and couldn't go in because I was scared that I failed. It was not until my mom met me outside and brought me in. Though, I was criticized and the whole of that day, I couldn't eat. The coming terms, I prepared even harder and came out better than before. This time around, everyone sang my praise and no one even remembered I had failed the previous term. Soon, it died down and everyone went about their businesses or expected more from me.

The truth is this, nobody really cares whether you fail or succeed. Very few will even remember, maybe your relatives.

Those little failures you have experienced in the past are still in your own head.

Many people have forgotten, and have moved on.....Afterall, they have their own problems and are busy freaking worrying about what other people think of their failures.

Everyone is busy overestimating in what manner other people think about them. 

If you don't want to take that action because "what if it fails?", "what will people say" etc.

Newsflash: Other people don't care!

They'll remember it for a few days, or maybe a few weeks, maybe a few months and if it's really big, maybe a few years. 

But they'll also quickly replace it, if you have a success story that tops that. 

When you understand this, you'll wonder why you ever worried about it in the first place. 

The truth is, people don't care about your failures as much as you do, people don't even remember, they're busy trying to be successful and avoid failure. 

Understanding this will help you embrace the idea that "Failure is also part of the Process".

Life is too short to let fear make big decisions for you. 

Denis Waitley said "forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success".

So, don't be afraid to fail.
