The Fear of Failure
The Fear of Failure
The word ‘failure’ is something we never like to hear. It’s something we fear and want to avoid. But ‘failure’ is an illusion that the external world has created for us – and we decide whether we fall into that nightmare or not.
It’s time to tackle the old idea of failure so that you can surmount it once and for all.
In order to move beyond a limiting belief like failure, you have to understand how it’s created in the first place. The truth is that failure is just one person’s opinion with regard to the outcome of a situation. When we say something is ‘a failure’ or ‘we’ve failed’, we’re basically saying that something didn’t turn out according to plan or the way we hoped.
What if I were to suggest to you that ‘failure’ was just the universe having a different plan? What if, when something goes ‘wrong’, there’s a bigger picture there? What if there’s a better opportunity coming in your direction and if things had gone according to plan you would have missed it?
Today you are encouraged to surrender your expectations. It’s time to realize you can’t actually let down the universe because the universe has no expectations of you in the first place. You are encouraged to realize that failure is just a feeling and that feeling is simply the acknowledgement that things didn’t go the way you wanted. It doesn’t mean things aren’t going to be good.
This doesn’t mean you can’t acknowledge the fear of failure, just don’t let that be your story.
Failure can only exist for people who want control. So, to overcome the idea of failure, you are encouraged to surrender the idea of control.
It’s time to realize that whatever you focus on, whether good or bad, you are sending energy to it. When you fear failure, you are setting yourself up for it. When you’re surrendering to the universe, to that ultimate force of goodness, you’re setting yourself up to experience goodness.
You are reminded that you can never stray from your path to growth. You can never fail at being who you are. Every experience in your life is a perfect opportunity to know yourself at a deeper level.
