“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”- Paulo Coelho

Most people don’t succeed in life because they don’t want to fail. They want to be ready before they start. Remember, you cannot be perfect before you start something that will change your life; you have to start to be perfect.

Peter Drucker said, “Wherever there is success, there has to be failure.” You cannot succeed without first learning how to fail. John Maxwell wrote a book about how to fail forward. If you want to succeed in life, in your business, in your career, in your relationships, you have to be comfortable with failing forward. Failing forward is good. Failing backward is bad.

Don’t be afraid of failure. If you want to succeed, you cannot avoid failure. Successful people know how to fail forward. They love failing, because it shows them what to do next, what to learn, and how to move forward. Dell Crossword said, “Success is not permanent, neither is failure.” Failure is not permanent. Success is not permanent. If you fail, don’t make it permanent. Failure has lessons to teach you. It is not here to destroy you.

How To Conquer Fear Of Failure

If you want to conquer fear of failure, do the following things:

  • Know that if you want to succeed, failure is unavoidable
  • Do what you fear. Take more risks
  • Try things that you have not tried before. Begin small.
  • Don’t start with the hard things; they will increase your fear. Start with small things to build your confidence.
  • Reach out to people who have done the same thing that you are about to start.
  • Know yourself. Know what you can handle. Know when to say enough is enough.
  • When you succeed at overcoming your fear, keep doing what works for you.
  • Never give up. You will fail, but never give up.

Finally, according to Jim Rohn, “One of the reasons why we fail to find happiness or to create unique lifestyle is because we have not yet mastered the art of being.”

The Seed Of Life

Life is movement. Everything in life is changing. Whether we know it or not, we are all changing. Whether you like to change or stay the same, we are all changing.

There is no life without growth. The seed of life is growth. If you are living your life and not growing, it is time to check what you are doing wrong. Life is all about growth, about advancement, about movement, about balance, about rest.

Albert Einstein said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” He is right. If you are not moving, what are you doing with yourself, your life, your time?

To know whether you are making progress in life or not, check how you are living your life on a daily basis. Are you spending your time the right ways? Are you spending your time with the right people? Are you asking the right questions?

Remember, if you want a better tomorrow, you must start doing the right things today. What you are doing today will be your tomorrow’s gain. What you are doing today is your future. You are the only one who can design your future. Make wise choices, and you will get there.

It is possible!
