fear of failure

Who me?

I keep telling myself that the only way I can fail is to not finish.
Think I'll listen?  Think I'll ever believe it?  Got a lifetime of a fear of failure to overcome here.

  1. Is it fear of failure or fear of sucess?

  2. Failure is in the eye/mind of the beholder. But who is someone else to judge your writing as a failure or as a success? We've heard stories of famous authors who submitted books and stories many times before they were accepted and printed.

    Success may just be the writing process or the finishing of a writing project or a submitting of a product or the effort or the great story that YOU enjoy writing. And it may include doing what God directs you. There may be multiple successes all at once!

  6. And then there is also the fear of success. Just do it all unto Him and He will handle all your fears.

  7. Me too! Just when I thought I'd overcome it......wrong! God continues to teach me and draw me closer to himself in spite of my great weakness.
