Closer Than They Appear
Success and failure share a trait; they both, like the images in the
right-hand side mirror of our cars, can seem closer than they really
are. Success can feel close, but might still be a ways away so we have
to stick with it, don't take our foot off the gas, and don't assume that
we can change course before we achieve the success that we are trying
to achieve. Failure, on the other hand, can feel so close that we start
to get fearful and paralyzed of what might happen next, when we are
still far from failing. The truth is that success and failure are
located just about the same distance away from where we are. We can't
over anticipate either nor overreact to what we encounter along the
way. I have seen too many people who make decisions based on not
accurately knowing where they are on the road to either success or
failure.
