How to Overcome Your Fear of Failure

Self-sabotage is any kind of behavior or thought that keeps us away from what we desire most in life. Reluctance on our part to take up new challenges is a characteristic trait of self-sabotaging behavior. It is the conflict that exists between our conscious desires and unconscious wants—or as Sigmund Freud would describe it, our identity versus our ego—that manifests itself in self-sabotage patterns.

This self-sabotaging behavior originates from our fear of failure. The overwhelming sentiment growing inside of us, gnawing at us, and saying, “You cannot do this,” is what deters us from our goal of achieving the greatness we are born to do.

What can we do to stop sabotaging ourselves?

  1. 10 Ways to Overcome Your Fear of Failure Self-­‐sabotage  is  any  kind  of   behavior  thought,  or  ac8on  that   holds  us  back.  Here’s  how  to  stop   sabotaging  ourselves. by  Faisal Hoque founder  of:
  2. Start with self-belief “Changing  SELF-­‐DOUBT  into   SELF-­‐BELIEF  is  a  choice.”
  3. Regrets are worse than failures “There  is  one  FEELING  that  lasts   much  longer  and  is  more   powerful  than  fear  —  REGRET.”  
  4. Identify the root cause “Coming  FACE  to  FACE    with  our   FEAR  is  the  best  way  to  get  over  it.”
  5. Keep your eyes on the goal “The  more  we  can  FOCUS  on   our  end  game,  the  more  we   OBLITERATE  PESSIMISM   from  our  minds.”
  6. Predict your future by creating it “The  FUTURE  cannot  be   predicated,  but  futures  can  be   invented.  It  was  man's  ABILITY  to   invent  which  has  made  human   society  what  it  is.”
  7. Trust your inner guide “This  INNER  GUIDE  is  more  POWERFUL   than  any  external  influence  and  has  the   ability  to  dissipate  our  fears.”
  8. Never say never “Failure  is  part  and  parcel  of   life;  it  is  FAILURE  that  makes  us   STRONGER  and  more   PERSISTENT.”
  9. Changing our perception “Wrong  percep8ons  are   detrimental  and  poisonous  to   our  GROWTH.”
  10. Challenge ourselves “MONOTONY  is  one  of  the  reasons   for  many  of  our  failures.”
  11. Patience and faith are our best friends “Keeping  a  CAN-­‐DO  ATTITUDE   helps  us  never  to  give  up  on   ourselves.  It  allows  us  to   recharge,  reinvest,  and  reinvent   ourselves  by  mel8ng  down  our   fear.”
