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.
