Day 1: Failure and Fear

One of the basic emotions we deal with on a daily basis is fear.  Of the 6 emotions, this is the one that we remember the most as being the worst.  However, fear is not fatal.  It is not deadly only distracting.  As soon as we fear something we tend to pull back, stop doing whatever it is we are doing, and question ourselves.  Did I not understand, did I not think this through, maybe I don’t have all the answers, or maybe I don’t have the skills to be successful?  Remember first, Henry Ford: Whether you think you can or can’t, you are correct.  Thinking that you are lacking is one of the safe measures we take in order not to fail again.  Being safe and secure is one of the behavioral steps we take to not get hurt again.  But thinking you are not good enough, will be how you behave.  It can be our mental/emotional cage.
​
91% of the things we fear, never occur.  Is it going to take some work and retraining in order for us to reframe our habits in order to face our fears?  OF COURSE!  Our survival instinct is kicking in and we want nothing but success.  That should be your motivation when failing.  Your success are something that defines who you are, and so do your failures.  Science experiments have thousands of failures and only one success.  What does this tell us about normal living?  Failures tell you the direction or the answers that don’t work.  It should instill strength and determination that the more you fail, the stronger and smarter you become.  All Doctors and experts in their field are very proficient at failing.  They can direct you away from what doesn’t work.
