- Go to MY HEART IS TORN APART DUE TO FEAR OF FAILING -I SHALL DIE UNFULFILLED
This is from the heart. Failure and success go hand in hand, this I know. But I still have lessons to learn myself.

Afzal, I think you need to be more forgiving towards yourself. Fear of failure keeps one from enjoying new challenges, it takes the fun out of natural curiosity, it sets a solid barrier between a person and the success they so desire. Give yourself permission to fail. Instead of looking continually at the long-term goal of what you desire, look at each tiny step forward and upward. If you fail at even that one tiny step, try to laugh, consider it an opportunity to try again in perhaps a different way. Stop looking toward your death, focus on the life that you have today.

Sweetie, please don't say these things, ok? This is one of the reason's I get so scared, and this fear then builds inside me.
The only way you can fail is if you quit trying.

Afzal, just stop and breathe, you are not going to die anytime soon, and much less "unfulfilled" Whose who die "unfulfilled" have set to high goals for themselves. Just start small, remember that to build the highest building one must start with a small brick. What I mean is don't look so high above your head that you loose sight of all the beautiful things that are around you. Don't feel you failed because you did not do what you think you had to do. G-d is wiser than you and He knows you have done what you can, what he gave you to do, what He knew you would do. Like a Father he is proud of you no matter what you :accomplish" as long as you try. Be well my friend. and remember, breathe...

Afzal ~ I'm sorry you feel so burdened by despair. Stop for a bit and pray ~ is all I can suggest or offer. It is what I do at these 'low' points in my life. We all go through these fears ~ It's allright... hang in there and keep writing ~
