• Fear not that you night fail…Fear rather that you might never succeed if you never dare to try.
  • Fear not that might make a mistake believing in your dream…Fear rather that if you don’t go for it you might stand before God and He’ll tell you that you could have succeeded if you had more faith.
  • Fear not that if it doesn’t work out you’ll be embarrassed…Fear rather that if you don’t try that time will only prove you could have succeeded! The saddest words of pen and tongue are these: “It might have been.”
  • Fear not that you might fail…Fear rather that you will never succeed if you don’t start taking risks.
  • Fear not that you might be hurt…Fear rather that you might never grow if you keep waiting for painless success.
  • Fear not that might love and lose…Fear rather that you might never love at all.
  • Fear not that others might laugh at your mistakes…Fear rather that God will say to you, “O you of little faith.”
  • Fear not that you might fall again…Fear rather that you might have might it the next time you’d only tried once more and given it all you had.
  • Failure doesn’t mean you were dumb to try; it means you had courage to explore and experiment to see what would work and what would not. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t know how to make decisions; it just means you have to make another decision. You can overcome the fear of failure when you re-define failure that word:
  • Failure doesn’t mean you are a failure…It does mean you haven’t succeeded yet.
  • Failure doesn’t mean you can accomplished nothing…It does mean you have learned something.
  • Failure doesn’t mean you have been a fool…It does mean you had a lot of faith.
  • Failure doesn’t mean you’ve been disgraced…It does mean you were willing to try.
  • Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it…It does mean you have to do something in a different way.
  • Failure doesn’t mean you are inferior…It does mean you are not perfect.
  • Failure doesn’t mean you’ve wasted your life…It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.
  • Failure doesn’t mean you should give up…It does mean you must try harder.
  • Failure doesn’t mean you’ll never make it…It does mean it will take a little longer.
  • Failure doesn’t mean God has abandoned you…It does mean God has a better idea!
  • Failure doesn’t mean you’re finished…It does mean you have a chance to try something new.
