How to Overcome Fear of Failure & Face The Fear of Moving Forward?

in #life6 years ago (edited)

Many of us are sometimes afraid of failing, but we mustn't let that fear stop us from moving forward.

Fear of failure can have several causes, from childhood events to mistakes we've made in our adult lives. It's important to realize that we always have a choice, we can choose to be afraid, or we can choose not to be.

Start by setting small goals that will help build your confidence. Learn how to explore and evaluate all possible outcomes rationally and develop contingency plans, and practice thinking positively. By moving forward slowly but steadily, you'll begin to overcome your fear.

Ask Three Powerful Questions

The best response to perceived failure is to ask oneself these three powerful questions:

  1. What did I learn from this situation?

  2. How can I grow as a person from this experience?

  3. What are three positive things about this situation?

When you first attempt to list three positive things about the “failure”, your mind may be very resistant. But if you stick with the exercise, before you know it, you will see a new opportunity that can come out of this “failure.”

The key is using failure to your advantage, rather than dreading it, this way you will motivate yourself and keep moving forward & go a step ahead to build strong self-confidence.

Bellow example of successful people who have experienced failure:

  • Michael Jordan is widely considered to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time. And yet, he was cut from his high school basketball team because his coach didn't think he had enough skill.

  • Warren Buffet, one of the world's richest and most successful businessmen, was rejected by Harvard University.

  • Richard Branson, owner of the Virgin empire, is a high-school dropout.

It's important to realize that in everything we do, there's always a chance that we'll fail. Facing that chance, and embracing it, is not only courageous, it also gives us a fuller, more rewarding life.
