‘Motivate Yourself to Success’ by Marc Sanders

This faith in yourself can take you to high levels of success. There is no failure if you keep trying until you succeed. Nobody recalls the number of times you failed from the day you succeed.
Success is the truth while failure is only a mirage.
This is evident with American President, Abraham Lincoln. He sure did not become President of America first time he tried. However, he did not give up.
He tried again and became President.
In the same sense, many more politicians tried for presidency but could not be successful. They just chose to quit the presidential race and carried on with their lives. Hence, they are ‘failures’ in this quest - they backed down due to fear of further failure.
There are not many roses on the path to success and you probably will tread on plenty of thorns before you reach your goal or meet success in your endeavors.
Pay no mind to fear of obstacles or hurdles in your path. They are there to teach you how to tackle them and then move ahead.
Before starting, be mentally prepared for impediments and problems. This mental preparation goes a long way in evading fear of failures. Statisticians say that over ninety percent of fears do not happen at all.
How to Overcome Fear of Failure
Fear of failure and faith in your abilities are opposites and exist together in your mind. It is up to you to eradicate the fear and reinforce the faith. This unwanted fear directly relates to failure and gains over your faith. You should decide to push out fear and instill faith in its place.
