Fear of Failure

Nobody really fears failure. Tripping over a curb, burning toast, or breaking a cup doesn’t send anyone into existential crisis mode. What we dread the most is when someone sees us fail and raises an eyebrow. It’s the judgment, the whispers, the “I told you so.”

Think about it: If failure happened in an empty room, would it still feel humiliating? Nope. It would just be a lesson.

So, maybe the trick isn’t to avoid failure but to embrace it without waiting for permission. Success isn’t about never messing up. It’s about failing so confidently that people admire your audacity.
