Thoughts on failure

 You know, it's funny how much I fear failure. Not the failure of failing at something once. But the failure of giving up at something before I reached the end goal. The failure of giving up, not of actually being bad at something. By now I know that if I keep going at something for long enough, I'll eventually get good at it. The fear is of stopping, Not continuing. Giving up the growth mindset. And as horrible as I'm feeling in many ways right now, I hope that I never forget that one-time failure isn't real failure. That real failure is giving up on your dreams.
