Fear of failure is an Obstacle to Pursuing Goals

I recently was browsing through my book titled “ The Wealth in the Great Kingdom” (an exceptionally engaging read, by the way!). and decided to analyze the quote. “People are afraid of failure, and that’s why they very rarely take on something that is in their best interest or something that is their dream.” This isn’t some revolutionary, unheard-of revelation, right?

Nah, it's just telling you to get it done, even if you blew the deadline or life happened.  Anyway, picture this: you want to play guitar, right? But, like, whatever, life gets in the way. Work, family, all that jazz. Years go by, and you forget about it. Then, one day, you just, like, grab an old guitar. Sure, you'll probably think, "Man, I should've done the job sooner," but...
