came across this today on Facebook.... thought it might help a lot of people on here.
Fear of failure can be paralyzing. But surely you've heard “if your not failing your not trying”? Evidence that failure is all a matter of perspective. Think of all the people you admire, I guarantee you they all failed at one time or another. The key is to recognize setbacks for what they really are – entry points for learning not validation that you aren’t good enough. After a disappointment analyze your actions, get feedback from friends & take inventory of what you could do better next time. This type of self-reflection & improvement will ultimately make success inevitable. - Jillian Michaels

Smart lady. Not my favorite lady in the world, but nobody can say that she's not motivational and educated in her line of work. She's very good at what she does. Good quote, thanks for sharing!0

I used to be literally paralized by fear of failure- school, life, ect. I have come to realize that it is all a learning experiance. Its more about how I pick myself up after a slip or fall and what I learn from it.0
