Failure is escalated by fear. According to Michelle Obama, “Failure is a feeling long before it becomes an actual result. It’s vulnerability that breeds with self-doubt and then is escalated, often deliberately, by fear.”

That is why you should grow your courage to move yourself forward. If you want to achieve greatness in your life, you must conquer your fear. Do not let fear stop you from doing your part. When it comes to your growth, you have a part to play. It takes courage to do that. And you must do it if you want to get better at what you do.

And to get better at what you do, to succeed, to do great things, to venture into the unknown, you must be willing to failure. You can acquire the courage to change your life, to face your fear. Are you willing to venture into the unknown?

Greatness Is A Transitory Experience

“Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never persistent. … The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him…. Without this quality, even occasional greatness will destroy a man.”- Frank Herbert

Greatness is not permanent. Nothing is permanent in life. Everything is changing. You can enjoy greatness if you do not attach yourself to it. We find it difficult to let things go because we are so attached to it. We love our old things. We like to keep them. But to really enjoy what we have, we must detach ourselves from our things. Things are things. They are not human beings. Let them go.

They are not human beings. Greatness is good, but it can isolate you. It can isolate you if you don’t know how to use it to your advantage. The best way to remain great is to forget about greatness. Do not be trapped by your greatness. Do not let your greatness control your life. Do not let your greatness destroy your life. Frank Herbert said, “The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.” Even if you think you are not a great person, you are a great person. Think about who you are? Think about who created you?
