Hi there! In today’s life coaching article, I want to take a good look at overcoming the fear of failure in our daily decision making. This will be of extreme importance, as overcoming the fear of failure can help you move forward and create results you want. Have you had goals to achieve or any decisions you have needed to make where fear of failure has stopped you? How does not following through impact your your level of self-esteem? Do you feel strong or weak? Many times in life, we need to make a decision and take action, but our fear of failure shuts us down and leaves us powerless! Don’t get me wrong. Fear is useful biological tool that we need to keep us safe (flight or flight), but often times, we fear things that we really don’t need to fear. For example, when you were a kid, how often did you want to raise your hand in class and ask a question? What stopped you from doing that? Now that you’re an adult, does that happen when you are at staff meetings or even at home with your spouse? That’s the kind of fear I am referring too. Learning to overcome this fear and take action despite of it, can give us ultimate control and power!
Beverly Sills said, “You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.”
Fear in the latter respect, limits what we will attempt to do. We immobilize ourselves, and this is why I wanted to bring this to the table in today’s life coaching article. Overcoming the fear of failure is so important. Please take a couple of minutes to think about this next line after you have read it - “When you fear to do something and never try again, will this lead to ultimate failure?” I believe that the answer to this question is obvious. However, if we take action and tryuntil we get the result we want, or something like it, we can reverse this fate. You see, we all succeed in creating a result. No matter if it’s the one we wanted or not. The distinction to make, is that we can change our approach until we get the desired result. If we stop and never try again, then failure is actualized.
Thomas Edison, got results that didn’t do what he was hoping for, but he did two things with them; a) make them useful for something b) never gave up until he got what he wanted.
We are often afraid of feeling embarrassed at failing at something. If we allow this fear to stop us, we’ll never get it! That is ultimate failure. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “What we seek we shall find; what we flee from flees from us.” If you have a goal to achieve, and your fear of failure stops you from trying to achieve that goal, the goal will flee from you and seem impossible to catch. Giving up at this point is easier than chasing it.
To help you overcome the fear that is stopping you, as a life coach, I help you examine what has been standing between you and taking action. I will also help you to choose appropriate action steps in moving past those obstacles and achieving your desired goals. For a free life coaching session, follow this link.
