How to accept failure

I can’t seem to figure out if being a keener is from nature or nurture. In high school I was the big fish in the small pond and then university turned that around and made me the regular size fish in a super intense pond. The pressure I put on myself is high and it’s not from my parents. If anything they were very laissez faire about my life and the decisions I made. They didn’t force me to do anything which allowed me to pick my true passion. Perhaps it’s the lack of their pressure that pushes me to pressure myself. It’s fine for a while until a small slip up happens and then guilt and pressure comes crumbling down like a house of cards. Okay, so that’s a bit dramatic. I suppose it’s a learning lesson and it allows me to become a better and stronger person. The glass is full – half of air and half of water.

Don’t let the fear of failure prevent you from succeeding.
