The Enemy of Success is Fear of Failure

The enemy of success is fear of failure. It is the single most important concept that determines whether we achieve greatness or not. It's simple; if you fail to achieve success, then you fail to live a successful life. Fail to achieve success and you will remain the servant of fear.


You must understand the meaning of failure. Failing to achieve success is synonymous to fear. And when you fail to conquer fear, you also fail to live the life of your dreams. The fear of failure is so powerful that it rules our lives. If you want to succeed in anything, you have to conquer fear. Failure is the primary weapon one uses against the other elements in life.

So how do you defeat this dreaded weapon? The key is understanding that life has weaknesses and you should use these weaknesses to your advantage. Yes, there are weaknesses in life such as, poor health, short height, and lack of confidence. However, these weaknesses can be turned into strengths.

In order to become successful, you must learn to focus on the positive rather than on the negative. The biggest weakness of a human being is fear. Focusing on the positive and preventing fear is the primary weapon for defeating failure.

So how do you avoid fear? The best way is by facing it head on. When you face your fears, you become stronger and can defeat the fear and prevent it from ruling your life. It's simple but extremely effective.

Once you start mastering the art of conquering fear, you will discover that every time you fail, you can turn it into a stepping stone to success. This is because as you fail, you realize that there are others who have succeeded, and you also realize that it takes a lot more than one to succeed. The fear of failure is your ally, not your enemy.

This realization teaches you to set aside your fear of failure and instead harness the power of courage. Courage is the ability to face what is fearful and to persevere. In order to achieve success, you must be willing to risk something. And once you do that, you will find out that success truly is nigh impossible to achieve. Master the art of facing and overcoming fear of failure and you can apply this to any situation and to any goal.

The worst thing about fear of failure is that it robs you of the opportunity to enjoy life. One has to look at things from a different perspective. One has to view failure from an optimistic standpoint and look at it as a chance to learn and grow. Rather than seeing it as a fearful obstacle, embrace it as a stepping stone to greater things. As Joseph Campbell says "We live in a world of constant change and progress, where one tiny change can change the entire course of human history."

To defeat fear of failure and achieve success, one must be one hundred percent sure that they are going to succeed. Success should not be feared. It should instead be seen as something that is inevitable. Once you have mastered this new perspective, everything else will follow easily.

Now that you know why fear of failure is a major obstacle to achieving success, take action to defeat it. Begin by conquering one fear at a time. If you focus on your fear of failing, it is likely to distract you from accomplishing any progress towards your goal. On the other hand, if you focus on the success that is possible from your accomplishments, then fear of failure will become an obstacle in itself.

When you begin conquering one fear at a time, you will find that as long as you continue to fight your fears, they will fall away one by one. You will find that as long as you remain focused on your dreams and your goals, nothing will stop you from achieving success. The enemy of success is fear. If you are going to eliminate fear, you are going to accomplish anything you set out to do.
