How to Overcome Fear of Failure

Only by overcoming fear of failure will anyone be able to achieve success in life. Here are some tips on how to eliminate fear and focus on success:
- Understand and expect that at times you will fail. Realise that you are human and humans make mistakes. Before any of us learned how to walk, we crawled. We got up, fell down, got up again and continued the process until we could walk expertly.
 
How to Overcome Fear of Failure-
Don't take failure personally. Instead, view it as a stepping stone. Make certain you learn from it and then apply what you've learned to future situations. Refuse to consider it a character flaw or weakness. Doing so will only prevent you from achieving future success.

That's just what I needed to hear this morning. I've failed horribly with my eating over the last few days and reading that I should learn from it has really helped. :)
 
Believe in yourself. Rather than giving up when things don't work out, take it as an opportunity to build perseverance and resolve. Believe that you've got what it takes to work through the obstacles and difficult times. Remind yourself how many 'failures' became successful because they wouldn't give up. (Albert Einstein springs to mind :) )
 
"As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery.
We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace.
The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as
anger and attachment, fear and suspicion,
while love and compassion, a sense of universal responsibility
are the sources of peace and happiness."

~Dalai Lama​
 
One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.

One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal

One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey.
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what's true,

One life can make a difference,
You see, it's up to you!​

"Being defeated is often temporary, giving up makes it permanent."
I have a box of cards that I draw from randomly every day & this is what I chose this morning. I had decided that I wouldn't enter to play in the Aust. Women's singles 8-ball titles. Our OS said to me yesterday that I really should as it's a great opportunity. I picked this card out today & have since emailed that I will play, if it's not too late.

"If one could only learn to appreciate the little things...
A song that takes you away, for there are those who cannot hear.
The beauty of a sunset, for there are those who cannot see.
The warmth and safety of your home, for there are those who are homeless.
Time spent with good friends for there are those who are lonely.
A walk along the beach for there are those who cannot walk.
The little things are what life is all about.
Search your soul and learn to appreciate."
~-Shadi Souferian​

Don't ever limit yourself. Stop thinking that you would look silly doing something that you really want to do. Stop thinking you're too fat, too old, too shy, wouldn't fit in, too whatever....... just give it a go and see if you like it. We hold ourselves back too much & limit our horizons. Life is great. Get out there and enjoy it!
