The Fear of Failure

 One thing I constantly struggle with is the fear of failure. In my particular case, failure would be graduating and not being able to get a job. In the same way, if I dropped out to focus on my particular interest, I could still fail to get a job and be left off in a tricky situation. I find that these thoughts of the future are very limiting to me, and while they are important to think about, I focus on them too much. It's hard to remind myself to focus on the present, and cross bridges as I get to them. One thing that stood out to me in this class was the discussion surrounding the topic of failure. What would I do if I couldn't fail? This idea really inspired me, and made me realize that failure is not constrained to my limited perspective of it. In many ways, "failing" can be considered a success.
