Overcome your Fears

Fear of failure consumes us, it immobilizes us, and ultimately holds us to a fraction of what our true potential is. We do not develop a fear of failure over night so don't expect to overcome it over night. It's all of the small decisions that we make daily, even as insignificant as they may seem, that eventually retrain our thought process.

First step is to identify the root cause analysis. It's not fun, it may even be painful, but there is a reason you are scared to fail, you just need to figure out where this fear is coming from. Find it, confront it, forgive it, forget it.

Once you identify the cause, you can create the solution. Failure is nothing more than an idea or a way of thinking. Successful people view failure as a learning experience, feedback, and an opportunity for self improvement. Unsuccessful people view failure as personal and permanent. Everybody fails, the only difference is successful people are better at it.

What do you do? You do something, anything, but you do it now. You take a bold move and try something that is completely out of your comfort zone and you expect to succeed. If it doesn't work, then try something else, but don't give up. Most people quit right as they are on the brink of victory because they expect to fail, so they are scared to win.

-Expect to Win
-Stop Blaming Others For Your Shortcomings
-Let Go of Anything Holding You Back
-The Only Thing Stopping You From Being You is You
