No need to fear failure....

This week's podcast: http://www.zshare.net/audio/62625703ca3e4b03/

Note: I could have spent the entire 30 minutes talking on this week's topic. Fear of failure is something I'm currently striving to conquer within myself. Awareness of the fear is the first step - then you can talk yourself through it (instead of walking through life blindly, unable to recognize the fear you are living for what it is). WE HAVE THE CHOICE. Know that many wonderful things have come from failure, accidents, mistakes... (ie: penicillin and post it notes) and that change is imperative for growth. If you try you may fail some of the time. If you don't try, you fail ALL of the time.

Quotes:
"Those who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try nothing and succeed. " - Lloyd Jones

"If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not in the falling down, but in the staying down." - Mary Pickford

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Edison
