Is it that People are afraid of fear of failure or is it fear of success?


 



Is it that People are afraid of fear of failure or is it fear of success?

Recently I have come to wonder and ask myself and I am sure there are many people who wonder to themselves if there are fearful of failure or if they are afraid of success.  In all honestly there are many people that are afraid of failing in life from their careers, families etc and some have a fear of success how can one-person handle success?


Overcoming fear and surviving success

According to Erick Erickson describes human development as a series of stages, each is focused on achieving success in a different aspect if life (verywellmind, 2017).  I have been told by so many times that in order to achieve success you must first experience failure because all the challenges and obstacles and failures that you go through in your life will only become stronger and wiser from the first experience of failure you get to learn more about yourself as a person and as a career person what makes you thick, what are your strengths and weakness. In my perspective I think some people are afraid of success is because there is a lot of pressure that comes along with it some people feel that they need to be perfect but it’s also okay to make mistakes along the way.
    First you must always remain positive even in your darkest hour take time to relax, do other activities and always refresh your brain.

1.           Set Goals
By progressing it’s important to set your goals by constantly learning something new about how to successfully for instant launch a product. Go for training, networking and also attend seminars and conferences are important you get to meet people and exchange ideas.

2.          Visualize Your Obstacles

Research has been done and showed that it’s always good to visualize your obstacles so as to see how you can overcome your obstacles.  According to Forbes (2017) Research has shown that the best outcomes are created when we balance our minds with positive thinking by visualizing the future obstacles and struggles that we might encounter later in the future.  For example think of a situation in which you are afraid of failure. You must allow yourself to feel the fear of failure like maybe getting fired think of what you can do next or maybe your project is not going as well as you think it is think of how you can improve it. Take time to breathe and relax and think of how you can overcome whatever obstacle you are facing.

To sum up it’s important to ask yourself powerful questions and see how you can improve yourself. Stand firm and be strong and always be yourself.  Remember it’s not the end of the world.

The importance of positive thinking



In life whatever situation we are going through we must stand strong and remain positive because positive thinking gives positive results. Here are some tips positive thinking. History has shown that those with an optimistic outlook on life are the ones who usually find the most success.

Express gratitude. One of the easiest ways to increase your positivity is to express gratitude. Being thankful for what you currently have immediately releases any negativity that you might be holding onto. Gratitude instantly puts you in touch with the feeling of love. Where love resides, fear and all other negative emotions cannot.

The best and most effective way to implement gratitude in your life is to express it every morning. Upon waking up, express 10 things you are grateful for. This list can either be spoken out loud or within the confines of your mind, but they must be detailed and come from your heart. Closing your eyes can further help you feel gratitude.


Be a giver. Many times, negative feelings can be caused by focusing on the perceived negative aspects of your life. You can instantly shift this feeling by giving unconditionally to others.
Share your skills with the people around you. If someone is looking for advice, help them out. Do not hesitate or doubt your value. Even the smallest of gestures or thoughts shared can cause a massive shift in another individual's perspective.

Control your breath. It has been said that those who have the ability to control their breath have the ability to control their life. In many aspects, this statement is very true. Look back to a time when you lost control. What happened to your breathing pattern? In anger, your breath became short and quick. If you control your breath, you can understand and change your negative emotions.

Either in a quiet space or during meditation, practice following your breathing. As you take a breath in (through your nose), feel the air enter your body and go deep into your lungs. As it hits the deepest part of your lungs, feel it slowly leave your body (through your mouth) and release any and all tension.

Visualize success. Tapping into your ability to visualize or imagine can be used as a powerful tool to become more positive. Many of the world's greatest minds, including Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith, Tiger Woods and Arnold Schwarzenegger, have been known to use the power of visualization to attract what they desire throughout life, so why aren't you?
Begin by closing your eyes. Think of a positive event that occurred in your past. In your mind's eye, see the event exactly as it happened. Place yourself within the event and feel the positive emotions as they occurred. When you open your eyes, allow yourself to stay in this positive state. The effects of visualization can be multiplied if meditation is practiced beforehand.
Meditate. Meditation is one of the most effective ways to increase your positivity. The practice of meditation expands awareness within the individual and allows for a clear connection between mind, body and soul. Through meditation, you can learn to release negative emotions that are holding you back and connect with your higher self.

Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit, lie down or do whatever feels right to you. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to relax. While breathing deeply, feel yourself letting go of all the emotions you are holding onto. With each breathe, let go a little more. As you let go, realize everything around you is made of love and allow yourself to live within this love.
If you implement these tactics and practice these techniques, you will be connected to the flow of life and you will find more "luck" than you ever have before.
