Failure feelings - fear, anxiety, lack of self-confidence - do not spring from some heavenly oracle. They are not written in the stars. They are not holy gospel. Nor are they intimations of a set and decided fate which means that failure is decreed and decided. They originate from your own mind.
Maxwell Maltz

Maxwell Maltz
Image

Maxwell Maltz
Image
Your nervous system can't tell real failure from imagined failure.
Maxwell Maltz
