Hi @lucypher The joys are beyond expectation, but the fear paralyses beyond words.
Increasingly, failure is seen as something to be embraced, something to experience, and grow through - what ever your field and whatever your life stage. There is even a school of thought that suggests that - like bones which grow stronger through trauma - there are aspects of human experience which are improved with a little challenge and disruption. In other words, and contrary to accepted wisdom, individuals and society alike draw more positives than negatives from failure.
Life is all a matter of perspective!!
Have a nice night
A hug
