Personally I think they are one in the same. When we fear success, we fear that that success will only lead to failure. That we will accomplish the goals and dreams we have only to lose them upon succeeding. It's harder to have had happiness and to lose it then it is to live never knowing it. You never know what you are missing until it's gone. I think that is why we fear success.

Failure and success go hand in hand. You have to succeed and earn something before you can fail and lose it. If you're afraid of failing, then you're also afraid of success. And if you're afraid of success, you're afraid of failing. I have no idea if that even makes sense, but it seems like it in my head.

So I guess the only advice I have to give is that you have to take the good with the bad. Yes, there is always the chance that you will fail, and there's always a chance that you will succeed, only to lose again and never really feel the happiness of that success. But it's better to take the chance than to live never knowing how things could have turned out.
