Fear of failure is quite common and is one of the thoughts that limit our capabilities, paralyzes us and prevents us from undertaking many interesting projects that we believe are not within our reach.
However, the real failure is to stop trying something for fear of failure. After all, making mistakes is the essence of our learning, in every aspect of life.
“Every failure teaches man something he needs to learn
In our first months of life, we only face every step we take, fall and rise again and again, try, research and explore everything around us.
We wouldn’t have learned to walk if we hadn’t faced each of our falls. The same goes for any meaningful learning: we had to make an effort and an unsuccessful attempt to integrate it into our repertoire.
The obstacles that arise for each of us are of great value, both for our personal development and to understand the value of effort.
With the challenges that arise, we improve and acquire new skills that help us face future situations.
These obstacles can be thoughts, fears, circumstances, etc. The important thing is to understand these difficulties, to understand why they are there, what role they play for us, and what lesson we can learn from the situation.
It is very simple and comfortable to think that we cannot achieve what we want, that it is too difficult and requires a lot of effort, not trying is the real failure.
“The greater the evidence, the more glorious the triumph
? William Shakespeare?
The people who really succeed in succeeding are the ones who do not stop, they are the ones who do not stop, they are the ones who do not stop to complain about the effort they will have to make, those who pursue step by step each of their goals until they achieve this has been proposed.
It’s people who see failure as necessary, as an opportunity to learn and improve, it’s these people who wonder every day if they’re where they want to be, if they’re doing what they really love and fall in love with.
The real triumph is to have the courage to try; Whoever maintains this attitude continues in different ways until he achieves his own personal success.
Understanding that frustration is part of the way is great personal growth, because not getting what you want is often an opportunity to change perspective.
Failure is not so frustrating when we have a clear awareness that we are doing our best.
There is no need to feel guilty, and there is nothing to fear from failure for not realizing what was attempted.
When we are able to understand failure, we approach the reality of our own nature.
What is really important and valuable is not related to the success or recognition of others, but to the learnings we can acquire during the process.
Dare to try what you want. You may not get what you wanted, but at least you’ll never regret not trying it and, along the way, you’ll be able to find an enriching world with possibilities.
