Failure and Happiness combined!?
Happiness comes from within, you cant get it from other people, and once you have your own happiness lantern switched on inside other people will be attracted to you...yes its hard, but nothing worth having is easy, otherwise everyone would have it.
Phil Parker says Fear of failure will always stop you succeeding. Failure is nothing to fear. No one should be afraid of failure. If you strive for success, there are going to be occasional failures. If you set yourself a target and don't reach it, at least you've experienced something new.
Then he said Better to appreciate what you've got than go chasing an illusory happiness. 'Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you sit down quietly may alight upon you.' It still rings true to me. Sometimes we strive too hard to pursue happiness. There are times when it's better to sit back and realise what you have. When I do that I realise that, in spite of everything, I actually have a great life.
This rings so true, I think if you are TRULY happy then you wouldn't be worried about failure. I forget where this quote is from but it is something like "I win as if im used to it and lose as if I enjoyed it for a change." very true when pursuing women! Even if you get turned down you should act a certain way, they might change their mind after seeing that!
