Fear Of Failure Fear is that thing that causes us to become filled with worry, anxiety and stress.
Fear of failure can be what is actually leading you to failure.
We must find out the root problem before we can overcome the fear of failure.
There are three main reasons for this which are past experiences, lack of confidence, and worrying about other people.
Past experiences often shape what our fears will be in the future.
We must not let our fears paralyze us and leave us in fear.
We should let it be a learning experience and become even better.
We must realize that may people that are successful today have experienced failure at some point in time.
If it was not for that failure some of them would not even be where they are at today.
We must take failure and use it to our advantage instead of letting it discourage you allow it to give you that extra boost and drive to do better.
The next leading cause to this is lack of confidence this alone can destroy you.
People who are confident have no fear of failure because in there mind they know there are going to succeed no matter what even if they do run across some bumps in the road.
Confident people will not let any bumps in the road stop them from there success because most of the time people who are confident have a more positive outlook on life.
They will not let anything come in the way or distract them from there goal.
They do not worry about and/or allow circumstances or other people stop them from reaching their goal.
Which brings me to the next subject which is comparing our self to other people and worrying about what they think.
We must not worry or compare our self to other people.
That is doing nothing but putting unnecessary stress on our self.
We often worry about living up to other peoples standards instead of trying to live up to our own standards.
We should create are own meaning of success rather than trying to live up to somebody else meaning of success.
It really should not matter what other people may think or say about you and how you feel about success.
People are going to think and say what they want all that really matters is if you are happy and/or pleased with what you are doing.
Make you own path and standards for what best pleases you regardless of what others may think, feel or say about it.
In conclusion to all of this we need to use past failure to our advantage, learn to build our confidence, and stop worrying about what other people think or say and trying to live up to there expectations rather than living up to are own.
Once we master this and start dealing with the root problem we will begin to lead our self to a better path and begin to be able to let go of that fear of failure.
