Overcoming the Fear of Failure

Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try  at all? Or has a fear of failure meant that, subconsciously, you undermined your own efforts to avoid the possibility of a larger failure? Many of us have probably experienced this at one time or another, and the fear of failing can be immobilizing. When we allow fear to stop our forward progress in life however, we're likely to miss some great opportunities along the way.

It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure. People who do so probably live so cautiously that they go nowhere. Put simply, they're not really living at all. The wonderful thing about failure is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to look at it. We can choose to see failure as "the end of the world," or we can look at failure as an incredible learning experience that it often is. Every time we fail at something, we can choose to look for the lesson we're meant to learn. These lessons are very important; they're how we grow, and how we keep from making that same mistake again. Failures stop us only if we let them.

Once you learn to look at failure as just a step on the way to success, fear will no longer hold you back from making an effort.
