Fear of Failure

Do you know most people never start anything that will lead to success? Because they have a deep fear of failure. People are afraid that they will not measure up or make the grade.  Many people from start to finish only go as far as others around them go. It’s true many people would rather be in the crowd than to be set outside of the normal.

When I was growing up the fear of being noticed came with the fear that if I did better than someone else I would be expected to do more than someone else. It can be summed up in lack of self confidence or laziness. Depending on where you stand. As we grow we either can grow responsible or believe that an achievement is a badge to wear proudly or we can slack on anything bigger than ourselves because we may be noticed and well let’s be honest with ourselves the pressure to perform admiral is something many of us can not handle. We would like to think we are doing everything it takes to shine however when our moment comes many of us fall.

It’s true we all have a panic button inside of us and when the time comes many of us hit the button over and over letting our emotions get the better of us. Many people have an uncontrolled response of crying or getting up set. This does not mean that the person who does this is by far not up to the task of any situation it simply means they would rather be doing anything other than the task at hand.

In school many of us were never taught how to be in control of the world around us we were taught to be seen and not heard as kids. How many of you went through life as wall flower because the kid next to you was like Horshack from welcome Back Kotter. A person who was the show and seemed to have no fear of being a clown or someone who was so out there that even if you did speak up their star would out shine yours so you remained silent.

The fear of success is nothing new to many people. In fact I to have had the fear of success not because I did not deserve it. However because I felt others thought I did not deserve it.
Letting others opinions of myself control the coarse of my life. Many times I have heard people say why should you get the special treatment are you a teachers pet. Now I know we all have either been called that or something similar. Or perhaps as kids we called someone else that or threatened to beat them up because they stood out or were better at something than us. On the other hand we all have seen the bullies who seemed to be good at just about everything and let us know it.  Regardless what you remember or did as a kid. You sometimes fall back on as adult insecurities that have followed you like a stray dog. Things you desperately want to over come in your business career. Your fear of commitment your fear of success your fear of standing out. You say why didn’t they teach me this important stuff when I was growing up.

Many of you lately hate your jobs. You hate going in to them you hate or extremely dislike your boss and some of the people you work with really get on your nerves. However when you arrive you are all smiles and most likely the biggest gabber around the water cooler.
People would never know in private that you despise them all. Many go home to an empty house pop in a TV dinner turn on TV and vegetate never trying to better your situation.

Oh don’t get me wrong I realize you want to more than life it self. You have big dreams, big some day plans however those some day plans are put off by what. Fear that you will fail in trying to achieve them. It’s not your fault though it’s the way things just turned out right.
How many of you remember the class most likely list that came out when you graduated. Many of us look back on some of those silly things and say wow I wonder what happen to this person or that person. Do we ever think of them successful.  Many of us do not because we ourselves have not made our lives what they should be so it’s easy to think of others worse off than ourselves.

We have a fear that we will meet someone on the street we once knew and they will ask that horrific question.

So what have you been up to what are you doing now.

Many of us would rather lie in hopes that what ever we say sounds spectacular and makes the person wish they were us. After words we feel empty and discouraged  blaming the world for our lie, our lives and above all we get mad at ourselves for not being able to just be truthful.

What if all that could change starting today. Right now.
