Fear Of Failure — How To Get Over It And Start Living
Okay, so you’ve been giving it your all…
Well, maybe not 100% your all, but mostly your all. But you’re still not seeing any progress.
So now what? Are you doomed to fail forever and never succeed? No!
What Failure Really Is
One thing that you need to understand is that failure is only an event that occurs, it is not a defining trait.
It doesn’t doom you to be “the loser” for the rest of your life- unless you let it.
Failure happens to you-it isn’t who you are. This doesn’t make you a victim though, because most failures are still our fault, but there are ways of dealing with it.
So when it happens (notice I didn’t say “if.” failure is unavoidable), pick yourself up and get ready for the next event in your life.
You must adjust your attitude as you recuperate from a failure because you will always subconsciously drift towards your own expectations. Good or bad.
Psychologists call this a “self-fulfilling prophecy,” and we are suckers to believe our own thoughts. So adjust your attitude to the positive side of things.
