- It isn't luck, It isn't lack of money or opportunity . It's Fear.
Fear is conditioned into us from a young age. Many don't pay attention to the stages of fear " Be careful" , "you can't do that." , " Be in safe". These consistent fearful thoughts add up and live inside us and form our psychology which, for most turns into inaction , for most turns into average , for most turns into settling for a life they aren't passionate.
Fear is the greatest killer of our dreams. Fear is that voice inside you that says you can't. The voice that gets louder and stronger every time you listen. Every time you let fear dictate your decision, fear grows stronger.
Fear is the voice of average, the voice of the settler. Fear must die. The only way you can change is to step right into your fear. You must step right into your fear.You must sum up all the courage inside you and do the thing you fear most. Failure may come, and that's why you go in with the attitude that you will do whatever it takes to conquer that fear. No matter how many times I fail. No matter how many times I feel rejected or embarrassed. I will not give up, I will keep at it till my greatest fear dies, I will stand toe to toe with fear, fear will die.

Fear of failure will imprison you in this life. You don't need your family members to help you to overcome your fears. All you need is courage and presistence to stand and take change of your destiny. Courage is when you keep climbing the ladder of success and the others are standing down.
Listen , you had better put some strength in ur back, plant your feet and stand up. Don't you dare sit down, don't you dare crumble under the weight of it, don't you dare give in because of the nature of it, don't you dare go home and raise the white flag of surrender, because whatever is over you define you and whatever defines you, limits you.
This is not your season to die, this is not your season to quit, there's joy, there is peace, there is breakthrough, there is provision but you will never see it if you don't stand up to it. Your pain is going to be a part of your prize, a part of your product.
Don't fear failure, fear being in the exactly same place next year as you are today.Never settle for less than you are worth.
