NEW THREATS to FREEDOM: THE LOSS ON THE FREEDOM TO FAIL

Unlike a terrorist attack or a threatening phone call, and individual’s freedom to fail is an unseen threat.  The loss on the freedom to fail is an internal handicap which poses a threat to an individual’s thought process on life.  This thought can paralyze, create fear, and imprison a person.   We are all created by the same creator, what you choose to call HIM is your preference.  Where the difference lies, are our passions, goals, dreams, wants and desires.  Successful people aren’t successful because they stop trying after they fail.  No, the reason successful people are successful is because they fail, and fail many times.  However they continue to strive to achieve and reach their goals.  Michael Jordan, one of the greatest athletes ever to live is quoted as saying, “I have failed over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.” www.inspirationalspark.com    When we lose after trying is it really a lost?  I believe it’s not a lost, unless you didn’t try.  If you never try then if becomes a failure, because you lost the opportunity of knowing.  By this I mean; you never know until you try. This is a cliché, but it is true.  To examine freedom is to look at the gift of choice.  As   defined by the website www.dictionary.com it is “the power to determine action without restraint.”  As once told, we are our worst enemies.  A person has the power to determine their own actions.  By being your worst enemy if you restrain yourself from achieving or become stifled after failing then you are destroying yourself.  Thus creating an internal wound and  you are defeated.  In conclusion the loss on the freedom to fail is not lost, but the course of action that one takes after failure is what is lost.  Freedom is still apparent, but it’s up to the individual to get back up or stay down.  To achieve success, you have to achieve at accepting failure and overcoming the fear of continuation.  To avoid being lost you must be able to navigate past the obstacles, the put downs, and the fears, and stay strong on the path to success.
