Nobody enjoys failing. It's part of our human DNA. When things didn't go as planned, nearly all of us feel afraid. Here are some ways to help you overcome fear of failure.
Figure out where the fear comes from.
Ask yourself what the root cause of your negative belief could be. Write down where you think the fear comes from, and try to understand it as an outsider. lf it helps, imagine you're trying to help one of your best friends. Perhaps your fear comes from something that happened in your childhood, or a deep-seated insecurity..
Learn from whatever happens.
, but that doesn't automatically mean you've failed. Learn from whatever arises. Even a less than ideal situation can be a great opportunity to make changes and grow. Dig deep enough, and you're bound to find the silver lining. When you've learned that "failure" is an opportunity for growth instead of a death sentence, you conquer the fear of failure.
In many cases, you believe what you tell yourself. Your internal dialogue affects how you react and behave. . Walt Disney was once fired from a newspaper because they though the lacked creativity. He went on to found an animation studio that failed. He never gave up, and now Disney is a household name. Steve Jobs was also once fired from Apple before returning as the face of the company for many years. If Disney and Jobs had believed the negative feedback, they wouldn't have made it. The voice inside your head has a great effect on what you do.
