Fear of failure is a big problem. If we could see failure as stepping stone, we will be able to achieve more. I agree, Jay. Fear of failure is a big problem.

They do everything they can to make sure everything falls into place. And when they do fail, they are too busy sulking around to even take note of all the lessons being presented to them. We should all have the mindset that failure is just a stepping stone to success. The problem for a lot of people is that they are afraid to fail.

It's often difficult to see the truth about failure when we are in the midst of a bad situation. Creating a mantra like you did is a good way to remind us. Steve,

At first I saw my failures as obstacles but later on I realized that the choices I made brought me to "forks in the road" moments where I can see those failures as stepping stones. It took a while for me to see that failing college course, not being sure of my future, and navigating aimlessly through life were all within my control. Once I made a determination to follow the mantra, "You Will Because You Can," and started taking small, positive, achievable steps then and only then did my life turn around.
