A lot of people are so afraid of failure to a point where they never ever dear to take a step in – trying! Sometime we are so afraid of failing, to the point that our subconscious mind does everything possible to make sure we fail.
Personal goals and potentials are cut short because of fear that those goals won’t be actualized. Fear stops you from making committed decisions and perseverance in the face of difficulties, adversities or obstacles. Still, without these “skills”, success is no more than a game of luck! The fear of failure is based on self esteem. It is a wrong believe that past failed experiences defines oneself as a failure.
Overcoming your fears;
- Make a conscious effort to leave fear out of your life – improve your self esteem
- Recognize your fear and take action to subdue it. The best time to do this is now!
- Get rid of the ideology that failure is bad. You can always learn from failed experiences to become a better person
- Humans are not perfect, every successful person has failed at some point in time of their life and succeeded at others
- Success and failure are closely related, in most cases, failure is a prerequisite for success
- The better half of successful people, have failed several times in their lives
So, as we start this New Year, let us make up our mind to succeed and achieve our goals. Have faith in God, and trust him to guide you through every life decisions. Take that all important first step, all your “ducks needn’t be in one row”, so many people start businesses or careers without prior knowledge of the final outcome. Remember, if at first you don’t succeed; try, try again. J
I have a personal motto: “Impossibility is nothing”
