Failure? Ever heard of it? I have. Far too many times.
Am I afraid of it though? NOT AT ALL. With every failure comes an opportunity to learn and grow.
One of the most difficult things in life is to know that you may not succeed at something, in fact, that is a huge reason why some people never embark on any task or challenge in the first place because they are afraid they may FAIL.
Here’s the thing: Drop that mindset immediately and adopt a new one. Adopt the “failure does not exist mindset, and everything is an opportunity.”
Yes, we may fail but the part that determines who we are is what we do after our ‘failings’. If we look down on ourselves and we do not look at it as an opportunity to GROW, we will indeed FAIL. So many time I see people who get depressed or sad… WHY?! Because that is what the world teaches us to do.
TAKE THAT CRAP AND THROW IT IN THE DUMPSTER MY FRIENDS!
We are moving on from the past and starting with a new mindset. A mindset that challenges us to do anything that scares us! That looks at the idea of failure as GROWTH! That takes what the haters think and throws it to the curb. IT IS TIME TO BECOME A NEW YOU!
So how can we go about getting over our fear of failure? I will make it very simple.
Get a piece of paper. Write down your three biggest failures. Keep that paper in a place that will stare you in the eyes (bathroom mirror, work desk…) At the TOP of that paper, in BOLD letters write the word OPPORTUNITIES. Do not throw that paper away till you conquer those three things. Now as you look at them the fear factor will diminish and you will see them in a new light, once you do this you can start on your path to SUCCESS. As you start to adopt this mindset, your eyes will see a whole new world.
So, start to think of failure in a different way my friends. Be creative and use your imagination.
Be brave. Be yourself. Be bold. Be the best DANG version of yourself.
And please do me a favor… kick failure in the butt!
