dispensable prerequisite for success. You need the courage to treat
failure as an opportunity to more intelligently begin again. You
need to overcome the fear of failure by doing the things you fear
over and over again, and then by resolving to bounce rather than
break when things don’t work out for you.
The bigger and more exciting the goals you set for yourself, the
more times you will trip and fall. But as long as you have clear
goals, you will always be failing and falling in a forward direction.
You will always be picking yourself up a little bit closer to the goal

Face Your Fears
You need the courage to turn toward danger continuously. Identify
all the fear situations in your life that cause you stress or anxiety to-
day. Decide what the worst possible outcome of each of those situa-
tions might be. Resolve to accept the worst, should it occur. And
then take action to resolve each of those situations. Refuse to allow
a fear situation to remain in your life, dominating your thinking and
emotions and holding you back.
