The Fear Of Trying


Millions of Americans are fearful of trying something new in order to make their dreams a reality. There are many reasons why the majority does not walk out on faith and complete their dreams. Their circle of friends can be projecting an atmosphere of negativity that stifles any action taken. They’re afraid of failure and what others will talk about if they initially fail at their endeavor. They are lazy, are comfortable in their little niche and figure that the job they’re currently holding is a sure thing and they don’t need to take any additional risk. The reality of the situation is that there is no such thing as failing in the University of Life. People who try at times suffer temporary setbacks however, they pick themselves up and try again from a different perspective and learn from the experience what works in that situation and what doesn’t. Life experience is something that you keep for the rest of your life while the fear of trying leads to stagnation, and regrets of what you could have accomplished in your lifetime but were afraid to do.
