How to Overcome Failure

One of the biggest struggle of people in general is our need to have success. One way or another, not achieving that success equals with failure.

And although success and failure are relative terms, we tend to be our most dreadful judgers and live with the constant stress of “what if I fail?”. And by doing this is like inviting failure in our lives because we give it such great importance and focus.
