Failure is the one threshold that prevents many dreams from becoming reality. The memories and fears of the stumbles remind us that there is pain when things go wrong. It s the most rare human life that does not have a museum of moments when we failed at something. it may be relationships, a project, a business venture or a host of other experiences that create emotional scar tissue. No matter what the reasons the accompanying emotions often prevent us from taking on new challenges. In essence it is critical to realize that the ultimate defining failure is to let the past determine current choices. Failure is not the end of the plot that judges our character , but rather the ability to try and overcome the frailties that we all experience.
