Fear, and all of it's cousins, doubt, worry and anxiety may be the worst enemies of the human species.
Most people self-limit themselves. Most people do not achieve a fraction of what they are capable of achieving because they are afraid to try because they are afraid they will fail.
Fear of failure is one of the greatest fears people have and it's closely related to fear of criticism and fear of rejection. Fear of failure immobilizes you. To overcome this fear, you must act. When you act, act boldly.
There is no failure; there is only feedback.
Successful people look at mistakes as outcomes or results, not as failure. Unsuccessful people look at mistakes as permanent and personal.
Buckminster Fuller wrote, “Whatever humans have learned had to be learned as a consequence only of trial and error experience. Humans have learned only through mistakes.”
List MakingFunnily enough one of the things I use when fear raises its head in my life is lists.
Making a list of the good and the bad, the pros and the cons, the for and the against ... depending on what it is you're working on allow you to really think about what it is you want to do and why you want to do it.
Developing your Why
It's possilby the thought that's put into the why you would want to do the thing that gives the power to take the actions you need to take to do the thing your thinking about doing.
The Worst and the Best
There's a couple of really good questions to ask yourself as you review your list:
- What's the worst thing that could possibly happen?
- Can you live with that?
Who's it good for?
Ultimately is it good for you, the people involved and the world around you?
How can you utilize these things to overcome your fears in your life and move yourself forward to getting the results you desire.
Remember: Successful people overcome their fear of failure.
We're all unique and special with our own set of talents and skills and the Universe is simply waiting for us to recognize this so it can create the synchronicities necessary for us to achieve the wonderful live we really deserve. So what are you waiting for ... get out that paper and write that list!
Love to know what's on your list! Pop it on the blog ... putting what you want out there makes it happen sooner and faster.
Love life and live it creatively and on purpose!
