“We have nothing to fear but fear its self” Franklin D. Roosevelt said that, and while I understand the meaning, like so many other things it’s not so easy in practice. We all have fears: fear of spiders, fear of open spaces, fear of closed spaces, and the grand daddy of fears – public speaking.

I think there is one fear that is more pervasive then the fear of public speaking. This fear immobilizes people worse then any other; the fear of failure. The thing I’ve noticed about the fear of failure however is how ironic it is. Usually when we are concerned about failure, we are in a place where we have the desire to move forward. In other words we’ve probably already experienced some form of failure, (that’s why we have the desire to move forward), but it’s failure that we’re afraid of; does that make much sense to you?

So, maybe we’ve come full circle. So maybe, just maybe, FDR –
