Try these simple tips to overcome the
fear of failure
“Success is not
final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.” — Winston Churchill
Everyone wants success! No one wants to face failure.
And, that’s quite obvious because it’s human nature. But, failure and
disappointments are a part of life. You can’t avoid them completely. However,
that doesn’t mean you should stop trying and working hard due to fear of
failure.
We all face situations when we decide not to try
something just because we don’t want to fail. The problem with such a situation
is that it hinders our growth. And, we miss the best opportunities of life
because of that. In this post we are going to talk about three infallible ways
that will help you to fight the fear of failure -
Identify the reason behind your fear
This is the first thing you should do to get over fear of
failure. You need to analyze the root cause of fear and then plan actions to
overcome it. This analysis is a must to find the solution to your problem.
Let me give you a simple example. Many people think of
quitting their job to start their own business. But, they are afraid to do so.
Because they have fear of failing in the business and losing money. At the same
time, they don’t want to get out of their comfort zone. This is because they
have fixed income from their job, which is sufficient to meet their needs. But
then, business is something that offers much more than that.
Now, here you need to understand that the bigger your dream
is — the fear which you need to overcome. So, it becomes crucial to know your
fears before you take the plunge.
Surround yourself with positivity
Did you ever pay heed to your thought process? What is
your approach to deal with a difficult situation? What is your opinion on
‘technically a glass is always full’? We’re asking these questions to know how
positive you are.
It is perfectly normal to get insecure while taking a big
decision. But, this insecurity should not affect your decision making in a negative
way. Because if it happens you will not be able to thrive as a person. And, you
don’t want that to happen.
So, how to deal with it? Bring
positivity into your life. There are many ways to
do it. You can start your day by reading a couple of inspirational quotes. Such
quotes help to make you courageous, ambitious and determined. It’s a good idea
to place them on your desk, phone, computer and other places where you can read
them daily. In addition to this, you can read some motivational books to shift
your focus to positive thoughts.
And, last but not least, keep distance from negative
people. By doing this, you will save your energy and maintain positivity
throughout the day.
Simplify your dream
The bigger a dream is, the more complex is the way to
achieve it. Sometimes you give up on it by just looking at the complexity of
the path to reach there. The journey ends even before it is started. To make
sure this does not happen you need to simplify your dream.
Here’s how you can do it. Once you have decided to chase
a big dream, break it into smaller goals. You will experience less anxiety and
feel more confident as soon as you do a small task to achieve the bigger dream.
For instance if you have decided to write a book begin by completing one
chapter at a time, one page in a day.
As a matter of fact, your very first step to your dream
could be talking to an experienced person who has already done the same. You
can get encouragement from such a person. You can even ask other questions that
might be clubbing your mind. This will help you strike out all the fears that
are stopping you from doing that thing.
Don’t let your projects run your life. Switch to ProofHub.
It is said that a brave person is not the one who doesn’t
feel afraid, he’s the one who gets over his fears. The ways explained in this
article will help you to fight the fear of failure. And, you will certainly
feel motivated to chase all your dreams.
Hope you are able to achieve your dreams!
