End Your Fear of Failure
By Lori Prokop
It is dangerous to have your own fears working against you,
especially the fear of failure or success. Either can cause you to
freeze and create the situation you fear, even causing failure to
thrive.
Everyone is going to fall short or experience failure. The
important question is not ¡°did you experience failure?¡± Rather the
important question is ¡°how did you react to the failure?¡±
Coming up short of a desired outcome can be a great teacher.
Much of what people have learned, which has been the key to
success, has come from overcoming adversity. Mistakes help us
discover how not to do a thing. Success is also a great teacher,
showing us how to do a thing.
It is important to see success and failure equal in terms of the
lessons both bring.
I was being interviewed as an expert for a book on success.
The author asked, ¡°Lori Prokop, how do great leaders handle
success?¡±
I replied, ¡°Great leaders are not as devastated by failure or as
elated by successes. They take both in stride knowing they will
continue to experience both as they move forward. They are more
excited by the insights and knowledge they master as a result of
both success and failure.¡±
Great accomplishments can launch from failure. But if you stop
because of failure, you will experience that failure forever.
When you experience failure, and you will, step back and in a
non-judgmental manner take a good look at it.
I recommend the words of a great mentor of mine, Ted
Nicholas, when he advised me, ¡°Lori Prokop, say these incredibly
powerful words, ¡®I forgive myself and others for mistakes of the
past.¡¯¡±
I also suggest to you what another great teacher said, ¡°Lori
Prokop, you cannot look rationally at the equation or steps which
lead to any outcome until you have healed the negative or hurtful
emotions attached.¡±
As you are healing regarding the outcome, ask yourself why
this path failed. When you have forgiven yourself and others for
mistakes of the past (even if the past is just moments ago), you can
look at the situation wiser, more competent and with the sense that
failure is only temporary and success is inevitable.
