Failure

I have been thinking a lot this week about relationships. No, I am not in one but thinking deeply about it makes me wonder. With young girls that I know getting married, and people that I know that have been married that are now divorcing, it makes me reflect on the world and how marriage is looked at.

Young love doesn't happen to everyone and when it does there is always the 50/50 chance that it will work for the rest of their lives. We all know this. So for those Young adults out there, including me, that are fearful for the futur relationship and marriage that they will have, I have something that I hope will help you overcome that fear of being in love, getting married then always living in fear of it falling apart.

There is this quote that I came across here at work, and I can't help but making it paralell with realtionships. I hope that you can see the paralell that I have made.

"Maybe you are afraid of failure, but how do you feel about learning? Fear of failure can stop you before you start. It can stop you from taking the risks you need to take in order to grow. If you redefine failure as learning, as important feedback, there is no longer anything to fear." -Lou Tice

If you fear that any relationship will be a failure then you might find yourself never being in a realtionship. Stop that! Make your fears become a learning experience!

That is how I am going to start looking at things in life. In order for me to grow I will look at fear of failure as learning.
And may we all. . single people of the world . . .become less fearful for realtionships and more faithful and hopful that a marriage can last forever!!
