Stress of success

I've always had an extreme fear and hatred for failure. This was  true only for my own failures. I avoided failure like the plague. Sometimes I'm not sure if I was actually striving for success or running from failure. They may sound like the same thing but they thing, but they are not synonymous.

You may arrive at he exact point but one one is fueled by fear, and the other is driven by hope. The irony is that you need a certain amount of fuel to actually drive.

I have a great opportunity, to be successful, before me yet I'm terrified that the opportunity is not afforded to me. * can't see into the future, so why do I fear that this opportunity is not actually in my future? Somehow, I see it so clearly for everyone else. And then I remind myself that I cannot see into the future. 

So it is in this moment that I ask, once more ... I'm I afraid of my own failure of stressed out over an opportunity for greatness?
