Fear of failure can be paralyzing

Fear of failure can be paralyzing. But surely you've heard “if your not failing your not trying”? Evidence that failure is all a matter of perspective. Think of all the people you admire, I guarantee you they all failed at one time or another. The key is to recognize setbacks for what they really are – entry points for learning not validation that you aren’t good enough. After a disappointment analyze your actions, get feedback from friends & take inventory of what you could do better next time. This type of self-reflection & improvement will ultimately make success inevitable.

    I was also really inspired by her post! I tried reading it to DH, as fear of failure is his biggest problem ( he won't even TRY it's so bad), but he just said, "Oh that's nice." lol, at least one of us gets it!
