Desire To Succeed

I woke up this morning with this thought in my mind. In my post yesterday I mentioned that I sometimes feel afraid of my own success, truth be told, I’m also afraid of failure. Anyone who has started their own business or even thought of doing it has definitely experienced this feeling.

My desire to succeed far exceeds my fear of failure, and that’s what keeps me going. I am more afraid of not trying than I am of failing. If I don’t try, I’ve already failed. So, I keep pushing, keep thriving and putting in the work everyday. I do this because I want to leave a legacy for my son, my nephews and my younger sisters. I want so much for them that I’m willing to sacrifice so much of myself without them even knowing.

I don’t expect to be successful at everything, but I will not let fear hinder me from trying.
