I looked back over the past few weeks and noticed I had an unintentional common thread in many of the quote topics: fear. It could be fear of mistakes, fear of success, or a fear of being something less than perfect. Another common fear is a fear of failure. Before you let it overwhelm you, think about this quote from Ambrose Bierce and see if you should reevaluate your fears like I’m doing. Will you let your fears control the direction of your life, or will you turn the tables?
“A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it.”
