"Fear of failure, fear of success is nothing more than a convenient excuse for fear of responsibility and discipline. The means to an end is like an arrow to a target; it must be focused and intentional. If you don’t hit the target, you try again and again until you do. Each attempt building on the last. Life’s bouquet of experiences requires the same attention. If an area of your life is problematic and you refuse to do anything about it or accept responsibility for it, how do you expect it to change. Conversely, just because you do, do something about it, doesn’t mean it’ll change to meet your expectations. Managing life sometimes requires managing expectations. Something you’re involved with is not producing the way you’d like, and while this is frustrating, it is also character building. Take some time to observe yourself and notice what is out of balance. Is there something your overdoing so as to avoid facing something else. You may need to shift your responsibilities or refine your expectations in order to get the results you are looking for."
