Get over Failure

When I have the chance to start-up a conversation, I do. It is just something about my personality and attitude. I like to get to know people past a hello or good morning or the traditional look at them and smile. Like we all do, but this post is not about that. It is about getting over failure.

While I am conversing I like to know what they fear most about life (I know kinda deep question for a first time). I usually get the answer of failure or not getting a goal. Which is really awesome. I do like that, but it does not matter if you fail or succeed. If you don’t try in the first place. I believe that when someone says that are afraid of failure, they are afraid of this because they don’t try.

Take for example, a friend had the perfect opportunity to start a business with a good friend. But every time I would ask him if he was getting on the bus he said well what if we fail and I get into all this debt. I could not get him to join this small business. Well this business is doing well here in Nebraska and this guy could have made some serious dough. But he was so afraid of failing he couldn’t see the positives of the business plan, etc.

It doesn’t have to be something that big. Think about a speech you have given in the past or an interview you had or whatever the event. What did you say to your friends or whoever you talk to about the event? Man, I hope I don’t screw it up or I hope I don’t suck. I am going to give you a bit of information you might not know.

YOU ARE HUMAN!!! You are going to screw up sometimes! That is apart of being a human motha effing being. If you get that into your head “I hope I don’t suck, I hope I don’t suck.” Guess what you are going to suck. Go out there and try!!! Put it into your head that you are going to go out there and give you best shot. Yeah it will suck and you are going to feel bad if you don’t succeed, but that should not affect you in trying in the first place. Because if you keep the mindset you are going to lose out on a great opportunity.

Keep your head up!! Go out there and do the very best you can. If you screw up, you screw up. Learn from the failure and grow from it. The best people in this world learned from one or more failures. Their lives were not always a success, but once they learned from their failure they went on to achieve great things. Get over your fear of failure.
