Welcome to this episode of our podcast, where we discuss the fear of failure and its impact on our success. In today's show, we explore how the fear of failure is insidious and can prevent us from even trying in the first place, which ultimately guarantees failure.
We start by looking at how small children have no concept of failure and are not concerned about failing. It's only after starting school that we begin to fear the opinions of others, which can limit our potential.
However, failure doesn't have to impact our lives significantly. We discuss the following facts: failure is temporary, common, educational, and others are far less concerned about our failures than we think. We also highlight the importance of focusing on how great it will be when we succeed, redirecting our thoughts, and considering the cost of doing nothing.
We end the episode by asking our listeners to reflect on what they would do if they weren't afraid of failing and encouraging them to reject the fear of failure for a brighter future.
So, join us for this insightful episode as we explore the fear of failure and how to overcome it to achieve our goals and aspirations.
Show Notes
The fear of failure has killed more dreams than all other fears combined. The fear of failure is insidious, because it’s largely in your imagination. It can also prevent you from even trying in the first place, which guarantees failure.
It’s interesting that very small children have no concept of failure. They couldn’t care less if they fail to do something. They just try again. There are no negative thoughts or emotions involved. They just keep on going.
But it doesn’t take long before children learn to fear the opinions of others. It’s usually around the time they start school. After that first day of school, we’re all changed forever.
It might not be possible to go recapture the mentality of a toddler, but you can come close. The fear of failure doesn’t have to impact your life significantly.
Consider these facts:
What would you do if you weren’t afraid of failing? Probably a lot more than you’re currently doing! How much has the fear of failure limited your life?
We’ve all allowed the fear of failure to influence our decisions. We’ve allowed this fear to stop us from trying new things or taking risks. We all have smaller lives than we could because we’re too concerned with what others think.
Rejecting the fear of failure is one of the greatest things you can do for your future!
You can start today. What are you going to do today that you’ve been afraid to try?
