There are people who have no mostly known failure and others who mostly know success, for the former they're very confident and trust in their abilities and this continues to give them this emotional edge to tackle problems that comes to them.
There are people on the other hand who knows only failure: the system, their lives, their struggles, their environment and the people around them.
It's crazy, they put in work, they hustle, they're not lazy but then it just doesn't work for them. The system didn't see how hard they tried, it only sees the failures they have had and this is sad.
Failure is real and the fear is even realer. Most times people count their failures and it stops them from even going harder on other possible opportunities.
The fear is like a cage, you live in that illusion for a while, and you just kill your prospective realities because we fear that whatever realities we go into will eventually end up in failure.
.....It accumulates when you've got painful, sad, gory and repetitive experiences. You go through continuous torture, and the even if you hit remission, you're still scared of hitting that downward spiral because you've been there.
You want to pause, watch the sun, breathe, take a break and just stay in a place.
For example a lot of us have failed with crypto, simply because we've not gotten the gains we should have have. We've constantly chased it for 9 years, and still haven't hit it, and this last cycle took the sting away from many people.
Some of us just wants to leave the scene and try something else because no one knows if waiting for a few years will be worth it. I mean you begin to ask "what if I waste my time, what if I fail again.... What if"
A lot of us have failed repeatedly and one of the side effect we actually don't see properly is the fear of trying again.
Don't get me wrong. Trying again is good, but how about the motivation or strength that should drive that intent?
People think that standing up after each failures is easy, it's easy for one, two or three...... But it becomes harder to continue to going because you're not even sure anymore, you lose strength every time you try and the lack of confidence that comes with the failure that failures kills a little bit of drive or the hunger to continue going.
People who retire early in life do not even need to stay sharp forever, the fact that they were sharp and productive when they needed to be means that they wouldn't need to stay in the game.
They succeeded when they needed to do, and then they left the game and retired. Our most productive days are filled with courage, hunger and passion, and when we cannot leverage this enough, then we're left to continue struggling, pushing the regrets and staying through the pain of being considered a serial failure.
Life depends on us succeeding, being successful also means we get to take care of our lives, but the consequences of actually failing is why we continue to remain in the game even though we've emotionally clocked out.
I know narratives or hustles that I've emotionally clocked out from, but just holding on.
I wasn't as hungry and passionate as I was, but I'm definitely still saying in to continue the fight. One of the best things in life is for people who experienced trauma through pain and to find peace, but this is rarely the case in life.
