Why Some People Never Fail. Ever.

​Some people never give up. And they often succeed.
But they sometimes they do fail.

Others fail more often than they succeed.
And they don't give up either.

Some fear failure with a terrible dread.
"What'll I do if it doesn't work?"
"What'll people think?"
"How will I cope?"

Others fear success with an equal amount of horror.
"What'll I do if this works?"
"How will I keep it up?"
"What will people expect of me?"
"How will I cope?"

Success and Failure are uncertainties.
There are no guarantees.

You can do nothing, and cogitate for the rest of your life wondering what if you'd done it. What if it had worked?
Or you can work like blazes at it, and have the rug pulled from under your feet.
But be glad that you used the resources, abilities and talents you had to chase the dream, even if it did elude you this time.

Or you can put every ounce of your existence into it, and survive, or achieve, and be glad that you used the resources, abilities and opportunity that this wonderful life affords us, to have ACTED, used your resources, and to have done your best.
