The fear of failure can freeze us in our current place in life. Doubt can rob us of the future we ache to achieve. Stepping out of your comfort zone and taking the risk required to succeed can be very daunting. Here are 4 tips that can help.
1. Clarify the best possible outcome and resolve to achieve it. What is the best that can happen? Creating a clear image of success in your mind will greatly increase your ability What does it look like and feel like? What would a typical day in that future state be? How must you change to make it real?
2. Take the path that is aligned with your purpose and passion. It should not feel like work. Align your actions in areas of strengths that provide you energy. Excitement about the future should fuel you, not drain you. This requires a clear understanding of your purpose, and your reasons for wanting a different future.
3. Enjoy the intermediate failures that help you adjust your path. Don’t let the small failures create a roadblock. Enjoy the fact that you found something that didn’t work. Challenge yourself to find an adjustment that keeps you in your energized zone.
4. Find others to support you on your journey. Nothing great is ever done alone. You will need support. Do your supporters have a clear understanding of your goals? Keep them informed. Ask for help when you need it. Teach them, train them, draw from their energy also.
