Most people have not managed to be where they are supposed to be in life because of fear of failure. This is the greatest demon that has swallowed the energies of people who would have been way too successful by now.
If you suffer the fear of failure, here are 3 ways to counteract it;
1. Reframe what it means to fail
Perhaps you don't know what it means to fail. Take it this way; a kid is learning to ride a bike, he falls off the bike, gets scratched but gets up and gets on the bike again. Why? Because he is determined to know how to ride a bike.
It is simple, you either choose to stop after failing which means your future ends there or learn from the failures and get the future you need.
2. Analyze all potential outcomes should you overcome the failure
Another way to overcome the fear of failure is to analyze some of the outcomes if you choose not to fear failure. Sometimes foreseeing the results of what we intend to do can give us extra motivation to face the tough situations to get to them.
Most people experience fear of failure because they fear the unknown.
3. Cultivate a growth mindset
Fear of failure has no element of growth at all. Therefore the best way you can beat it is by cultivating a growth mindset. Set your mind to believe that you need to move ahead and not stay in the same position for the rest of your life.
View failure not as the end of your journey but a step in the long process of becoming successful.
