You already know that failure is one of the ingredients for success. If you are afraid to fail, I think you should be more afraid of not growing. If we don’t grow, we can’t achieve our career and personal goals in life.
In order to conquer the fear of failure, you have to seek knowledge. Knowledge gives you the confidence to take action. But don’t be overconfident, because it can stop you from growing.
You must always stay humble whenever you learn new skills or acquire new knowledge. When you fail, forgive yourself. Always assess what went wrong and think about how you can improve it the next time you encounter the same situation.
Why are you afraid to fail? Because people might laugh at you? You get embarrassed? Yes, that’s painful. And it hurts. But that is your advantage because you are one step ahead of them. Why? because you learn to ease your pain, you learn to overcome uncomfortable feelings.
Always plan. But planning doesn’t guarantee not to fail. But it is much better to plan and sometimes fail than choose not to plan and expect to win.
Remember, don’t be afraid of failure, be afraid of not growing.
