Fear of Failure

Do you ever find yourself not trying something in case you can't do it ? Do you ever wish you had the courage to persue your dreams and ambitions but won't as you are scred to fail? What about that new job you really want, but don't go for in case they say no?


We are taught that failure is something that is to be avoided. And, it is for that very reason why people live in a cocoon. The fear of failure, ingrained in us since we were young, is one of the most power motivators (demotivators) that exists. It serves to crush more dreams than anything else.

Failure is a wonderful thing. Here is something that I want you to remember: the most successful person is the one who failed the most. Imprint that idea on your memory. Understanding this single concept will change your life.

Babe Ruth is recognized as one of the greatest homerun hitters of all-time. Did you know that he held the record for strikeouts longer than the homerun title? Warren Buffet, known as the Oracle of Omaha for his stock picking, lost $25 billion last year in the stock market. How many people have that much money to lose? Colonel Sanders was rejected over 1,000 times before someone accepted his recipe for chicken. Who among us is not familiar with his creation, Kentucky Fried Chicken?

Indecisiveness

Do you ever spend more time thinking about whether to do something than actually doing it ? Do you dither as to where to go and what to do ? Can you make a snap decision and know it is the right one, and if it isn't can you alter your course to make things work for you ? So many people spen their lives not knowing what to do, being indecisive, they can't make up their minds on most things



This is one of the states with is guaranteed to lead to failure. When people are indecisive, they fail to take action. It is impossible to be focused and bold when one is torn mentally. This is something that you will want to eliminate from your life.

It is impossible to make the correct decision in every situation. Part of the human experience is making mistakes. Yet, too many allow their fear of making the wrong decision hinder them from making one at all. There is a saying, "no decision is a decision". Being indecisive is a path that leads to failure.

Actions Not Words

How many times a day do you find yourself saying, " I will get to that later " and then finding later never comes ? Or saying you need to do such and such but never getting around to it ? All to often we can talk a good talk but fail to walk the walk as they say.

this article describes it better than I can

It is what you do, not what you say, that matters. Many can talk a good game. Few actually are able to do what they say. The percentage of the "doers" dwarfs the "talkers".

Action is the key to success. All the planning is wasted if not followed up by action. Those who are able to act tend to achieve their goals. Failure to act is what sabotages many from living their dream life.

I wrote a number of times how action is what takes something from the invisible world and makes it visible. An idea resides on the invisible plane. For us to enjoy success, this needs to transform itself in the material world. Action is the ingredient which makes that happen.

Ask Yourself This Question ...................

Ask yourself this question, and listen to your answer, all you need is the belief in yourself

Go For It

Many people play safe, they live their lives in a comfort zone as they think it will be the safest option, but what they fail to see is that there is uncertainty and fear in safety as well

GO FOR IT .............

This is a motto that is becoming more appropriate with each passing day. With the economic situation the way it is, people are going to have to take some chances if they hope to succeed. Playing it safe is rapidly becoming a recipe for failure. Just ask all those people who lost their jobs in the last few months due to the economic conditions. Safety is an illusion.
