Recall the “Lah Dee Dah” blog, and what the bolded text says.
It REALLY hit me today that I am “afraid” of failure after giving something my all. I don’t want to “waste” my effort and work and not succeed at something. I like competition, but I don’t like losing. But losing is vital, because for everything you lose, there’s something you gain back. Or in this case, for everything you win, there’s something else you lose. I suppose this could mean that I’m an ALL-OR-NOTHING person. Although, being the hypocrite (as with everybody else in this world) that I am, many of the things I do reach their codas about halfway through the process. Which leads back to the “fear of failure” factor.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels like this.
