Fear of failure increases the volume of the voice that pipes up and says, “You can’t! It won’t work! You are going to look like a fool. You can’t afford to lose anything! What if they laugh at you?!” when a great opportunity is right in front of you, or when situations and circumstances demand immediate action.
Fear of failure makes you retreat into safe comfort zones which can turn into prisons awfully fast. It’s the good protective instinct turned very, very bad.
Do these sound familiar?
* You hate your job but you can always find a reason not to look for a new one. You convince yourself that you are bad in interviews. The idea of new responsibilities and making all new friends makes you nervous.
* You’re unhappy in your relationship but you’re afraid to be on your own. You imagine being alone forever. You don’t think you can support yourself. This is the best you can do… someone better wouldn’t want you anyway.
* You want to be in a new relationship, but you can’t stand the thought of being rejected.
* You’re stuck in a rut but you don’t do the things that would help you. Asking for help for a personal problem, joining a gym, getting career training to make yourself more valuable, writing that book or pursuing a big dream sends fear through your whole body…
It’s Time to Let It Go
From our earliest days as children we’re taught that failure is “bad,” and we quickly learn that it brings shame, pain, humiliation, and embarrassment.
Boy, does it ever!
We figured out as kids that avoiding failure and criticism is a good thing. Unfortunately, one sure way to avoid failure is to not even try. Another is to avoid all situations where the sting of failure could be a possible outcome.
That’s why fear of failing is at the root of so much procrastination as well as the inability to make important decisions and take steps that we all must take to fulfill our true goals, our aspirations and our unique purpose in life.
We pile up the excuses and rationalizations to explain why we remain stuck. There’s always a good reason not to act. Our lives become filled with dreams we never pursue, goals we never act on, and wishes that go unfulfilled and destinies that never happen.
If you feel as if a mountain of obstacles stands between you and what you want, take a closer look. Often the only true obstacle is your fear of what might happen if you fail. And that patterned focus on failure was drummed into your head for years beginning in childhood.
Erase it and your confidence will soar. You’ll discover skills and strengths you never knew you had. You’ll become immune to the effects of fear and worry. You’ll stop watching other people succeed, and start building career and personal successes of your own.

“What if I fail?” is all you think about.
And the answer is always bad.
So you stay in a job that makes you miserable. You convince yourself that you can fix your bad relationship. You put your dreams on tomorrow’s “to do” list. Life becomes a series of excuses for you not to do what you know you should do and could do if just weren’t so afraid of falling on your backside.
Maybe you feel like you’ll never succeed at anything. If so, it’s probably not because you’re not talented, capable, hardworking, or likeable, but because deep down you’ve learned that the best way to avoid the painful sting of failure is to avoid trying in the first place. ===>>Release Your Fear of Failure NOW
