It doesn’t do any good to worry. Worrying is counter productive at any level and so is the lack of action. When you worry, you become “paralyzed” by all the “what if“ thoughts, which stops the chance for any progress. Worrying creates problems that don’t exist, causing a fear of failure for something that hasn’t happened. It’s that fear of failing that keeps you from trying again or trying at all.
You need to learn to harness your fears to your benefit. Knowing that the fear of failure is holding you back is a step in the right direction, but it’s not enough, because knowing is not doing. Action is that the best solution to bring an idea or plan to life and doing will give you what you need to dispel fear as well as give you confidence.
“The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.” ― Henry Ford
Another Important thing to remember about failing is that failing means you are developing…it means you’re trying! Each time you try something brand new or you face a challenge, you run the potential risk of failing. Failing is okay as long as you learn from the experience and make adjustments. Failing is a part of success. It’s part of the learning process as you strive toward your goals.
You need to see failure as a learning experience and an opportunity to get feedback so that you can adapt to a new plan of attack. Looking at failure in a more positive light will allow you to overcome your fears and take the necessary action toward your goals. Don’t let the fear of failure paralyze you from taking action, see it as a positive experience and achieve the success you deserve!
