Fear of Failure

December 27, 2015

Failure is taught at an early age that it is not an option, you must work to not fail and it produces the fear of failure. This is the wrong type of mindset. You see failure should always be an option it is what makes you to become better. You never know if something is wrong with how you are doing things until you fail so that you can improve yourself and your techniques.

Here are the steps to turning failure into a benefit:

Acknowledge that failure is an option and that it will happen
Take full responsibility for your failure, stop blaming others/systems/etc.
Commend yourself for all you did even though you failed. Meaning for all the massive action you too to try to succeed even though you failed, you need to commend yourself for all those actions.
Learn and look to see what you can do to improve you and your next attempt
Improve some more and keep the take action mindset and just do attitude
Keep moving and remember for every success that Divinci and Einstein had they had twice as many failures but they turned them all into benefit. You need to do the same.

Remember you need to take massive action, not just average action. It just takes one success to then expand and grow on that. The journey to that success is all learning and ways to improve you and your actions, failure is in there but fear should not be.

Use the 6 steps to get yourself out of the fear of failure and turn that fear into a tool, as that is all that failure is a tool to improve you and your actions. If you can do this with failure then when you reach your success it will be that much more solid and have the ability to grow and expand much easier.
