Is The Fear Of Failure Stopping You?

Recently it was extremely intriguing for me to see the reaction to a specific post on our Corporate Career Coaching Facebook page.

We posted one of our own quotes in picture structure about "Disappointment" (cite message beneath). It had the most noteworthy number of perspectives and shares than another post sent on the page in this way.

"Disappointment Is An Opportunity In Disguise That Enables Us to Grow"

It got me considering what disappointment is and what it could intend to diverse individuals.
I need to impart what disappointment intends to me and why I composed that quote in any case.
To me disappointment no more has a negative intention in my psyche. This is really a capable movement as once an individual quits accepting that disappointment is an "awful" thing (you can supplant the expression terrible with humiliating, dismal, negative, discouraging, xxxx), he/she is less dreadful to attempt new things.

We've all related disappointment with some negative experience from our past. Be it fizzling in an exam, at a meeting, not getting our "fantasy" occupation/home/advancement, all things considered, the more I've "fizzled" the better I've gotten to be at the thing I was endeavoring in any case, and better at lifting myself up, review the circumstances equitably and attempting again or having a go at something other than what's expected.

I don't thrashed myself, yet unfortunately so a hefty portion of us do and maybe you do as well?
One of the prior cases of "disappointment" for me was not getting into British Airways IT division (and yes, the travel advantages was a main consideration in my decision!). When I graduated, British Airways was on the highest priority on my rundown however I passed up a major opportunity for the passage tests by a couple of focuses.

I did however wind up at a much bigger IT firm where I finished the entrance tests decisively in light of the fact that by then, I had heaps of practice over a serious couple of months of applying to different IT firms!

My perspective is, its not about succeeding at everything. It's about attempting and not surrendering, however being savvy enough (through mindfulness) to know when to be adaptable and alter course if necessary.

Don't be apprehensive about "fizzling" as its not about what others think. The excursion is yours and yours alone.

Be pleased to attempt new things. Be glad to strive for greater and better if that is the thing that you need, however never stop for the apprehension of "fizzling" and being seen as a disappointment according to others.

On the off chance that you do that, you'll never advance. To bring into your life what you covet most yet right now don't have, obliges you to venture OUT of your safe place as that is the main place that can offer you your new endowments.

Nobody said it would be simple and yes, now and again you'll be terrified, as am I, yet do it in any case! The results are ALWAYS worth the trouble whether you "succeed" or not as whatever happens, you'll be one stage closer to something better.
As Richard Branson once said:

"You don't figure out how to stroll by emulating tenets. You learn by doing, and by falling over"

Furthermore that, obviously applies to most things in life!
