Ninety percent of times, fear of failure is entirely internal. It really is. It’s you
second guessing yourself on something that you know you can do. Why do you know you can
do it? Because you conceived of the idea. It wouldn’t be possible if you couldn’t
think of it.
Let’s face it, if you want to accomplish something in life. Even something huge…
build a business, get a job, move to a new city, lose weight, finally ask out that one
guy or girl that caught your eye…. The answer on how to do that is already out there. In
fact hundreds of answers are already written on that topic. One simple google search will
literally give you a step by step process on how to get it done. So why can’t you
do it?
Because you think that trying two or three times and failing means the entire idea is
a mistake. But do you really expect to hit a homerun on your first try everytime? That
would be impossible. It’s impossible. What if you went on 9 job interviews and were blown
out every time. No second interview, no call back, not even a rejection letter. You’d
quit the job search. You would say there is no point in continuing. But what if the 10th
interview was actually THE ONE. What if you not only nailed the 10th interview, but it
was the perfect job for you. You wouldn’t know if you were too busy quitting. Don’t
look for the 9 failures. Look for the one success. Sometime you only need to be really
amazing one time to get your big break.
Besides what options do you have? You’re going to be a drone doing some menial work
to make money so that you can go on doing menial work? It’ll never end. If you don’t
don’t have goals, you’re doomed to work for people who do have goals. Are you really
going to go through every single day not trying to achieve your life’s dream? If you aren’t
willing to push through that fear of failure to get what you want, then you have to ask
yourself… were you really passionate in the first place? If you really want it, you
should be willing to sacrifice a lot. You should be willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING.
What’s the worst that could possibly happen? So somebody says no to you. Or you end up
losing a lot of money. You get embarrassed. All of these situations, feelings, or hardships
are temporary. They can all be fixed. It’s extremely rare to take a risk that permanently
scars you. Chances are that thing you want has much less consequence than you thought
it did.
The real consequence you have to watch out for is you not achieving your goals. Of course
it’s going to be hard. If it were easy it would be done by now. If everything were so
easy, you’d have everything you wanted and there would be nothing left to do. Don’t
mistake your journey for being the problem. There are many things to fear on the road
to success, but if you don’t get on that road how can you reach your destination.
How could you fear failing, when failing is so important to success. I don’t care if
you tried and failed a dozen times. Those failures just told you what doesn’t work.
Now you are twelve steps closer to finding out what does work.
You are not alone on the journey. If you only knew how many successful people faced embarrassment,
financial hardships, and physical setbacks. Yet these people are now famous for their
previous setbacks. In the long run, those setbacks are nothing. They’re nothing. Those
events were like little blips on a big radar.
Did you know that Michael Jordan one of the best and most renown basketball players was
cut from his high school basketball team. He literally broke down and cried when he
was cut from the team. But does he look like he’s bad at basketball? Walt Disney, known
for pioneering animation and family entertainment was FIRED from his first job. They said he
lacked imagination. The Beatles were rejected from recording studios because people said
they didn’t like their sound and they had no future in show business. And those are
only the stories that we know about. Think of all the successful people who didn’t
make their setbacks public.
Your challenge is internal. Fear of failure is a distraction more than anything. Mistakes
will be made, but you can always course correct. You can seek help from successful people who
have been through all of these hardships. You can educate yourself with books that teach
you the hard skills that you need. You can even learn for free online. If you need money,
it’s time to take a second job and cut back on expenses. If you don’t know the right
people, then meet the right people.
Sometimes the hardest part of achieving a goal is realizing that it can be done. Your
potential in life is what you can conceive. And it’s not easy conceive of an original
idea. In order to innovate, you have to make the past obsolete. You have to think about
making the impossible, possible. You have to have unconditional confidence in your dreams.
That’s how you avoid second guessing yourself and that’s how you silence that fear of
failure. As you work on eliminating that fear of failure, subscribe to the endless motivation
