"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Wayne Gretzky

Many people let the irrational fear of temporary failure prevent them from taking the actions necessary to accomplish their goals. Rational fear is a normal reaction to a real threat, whereas irrational fear is fear based on a perceived threat that really poses no actual danger. Temporary failure is a predictable and unavoidable part of an active life that you should welcome not fear.

Nobody can accurately predict the likelihood of accomplishing a goal they set for themselves before they actually engage and begin working on it. Regarding success, one thing is certain---your chances of success are 0% if you do nothing and your chances of success are greater than 0% if you do something.

Newton’s first law of motion states that every object will remain at rest unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. You must create that initial force yourself in order to accomplish anything. The spoils always go to those who actually engage and act rather than sit on the sidelines and do nothing, so get off the fence and get onto the field of play. You have a 0% chance of achieving your goals if you choose not to participate. The sooner you get started, the faster you will see results and reap rewards. Onward & upward!
