What if I fail...

"What if I fail..." Sometimes I ask this to myself. So, there is self-questioning answering. I know you want me to tell the answer to this. But before that lets understand failure.

What is failure?

See the definition of failure vary with person and situations. "You set the line between your success and failure." So, let's understand this, you worked very hard for this marathon, and you set a goal to be in top 10 athletes. But you came 11th. So, you think that's a failure. And on the other hand, someone eyes only to complete the marathon. So now for that person failure is only if he/she leaves the race before finish line. See this doesn't mean that you should not aim for bigger. You are one who acknowledge your inner strength. So, aim what your inner strength tells you. In all "failure is just a state of mind when you can't meet your own expectation." 

Why you question yourself for failing?

This not many people realize. There is no harm to have such a question. But you must also know why you are having such thought in first place. that is important. This might have endless reasons. I'll be listing some common ones.

1. Confidence: If you lack confidence then you can't help yourself much. No self-confidence means no self-belief and that leads to self-questioning. If you have work hard , why worry? Just go ahead.

2. Unprepared: Fully prepared is very idealistic thing to get , right? But believe what you have prepared and back yourself. 

3. Mindset: Everything happens twice in life.

Yes, you read it right. Good or bad, success or setback happens twice. First in your mind and then in reality.

I think this say enough how mindset is important. 

Now let me tell you that this does not always show you lack confidence, or let's say you are not prepared, or not a good mindset. I feel its I check myself. Like you know, you review your answer before submitting. 

One last thing "It always seems impossible until it's done."

All the best ☺️
