FEAR OF FAILURE-OVERCOME IT!

Success or failure can become a habit for all of us. Many people don't succeed because they have a fear of failure.
There is no question that most people never succeed because they are so afraid of failure that they do not make an effort to succeed. Fear of failure  can be a serious problem. But let me give you some suggestions on how you might overcome your fear of failure so that you will be emotionally released to honestly try for success.
There are many times when you have to simply force yourself to go ahead and try. Just suck it up, grit your teeth, and go ahead. For example, may be you've been asked to make a speech but you are scared to death. Well, it could be very rewarding to go ahead and make the speech through chattering teeth and shaking knees. (Incidentally, most people won't be able to see your chattering and shaking.)
I would like us to think of this case study. Two young people have decided to go out,for the first time,with their friends. The young girl, while applying her make-up on her face, she notices a pimple lump on her left cheek- the side her boyfriend loves kissing most whenever they meet. She suddenly loses her mood for the outing and instead of getting ready, she sits on her bed thinking on how to cancel without hurting the boyfriend. However, at her boyfriend's house, the young lad accidentally hurts himself on his upper lip while trying to open a bottle top with his mouth. The lip develops a small but hurting dent which makes him feel uncomfortable. He creates a negative attitude to his own ability to explain to the girlfriend why he wouldn't be able to kiss her when they met.

The young lovers are in a small world of fear that they have created by themselves. None of them wants to give it a shot to explain to the other why she wouldn't want to be kissed on the left cheek or why he wont be able to kiss her on the cheek. The boyfriend, as well, lies on his bed formulating an excuse to cancel the outing. Eventually, they both text each other their excuses as to why they would make it- a 'great' relief to both parties,not knowing the the unfolding of events, all because of the fear of failure. None of them wants to take a risk due to the fear of failure. Well, the greatest risk is not to take one. If only the two young lovers would meet,skip the kissing bit and then explain later none would be offended at the time of meeting. You will ask why. Well, this is because, both of them would be too concerned about their shortcomings to even realise the other person's.
 The real world is more less the same. When you are paying too much attention to your own shortcomings and you get worried that people will notice,well, they too, are too worried about their own shortcomings to start paying attention to yours. Keep moving and drive away the fear of failure. 
Don't wait around until the situation is perfect before starting a project. Go ahead and start. Quit waiting for the perfect set of circumstances!
Overcome the fear of failure by starting out with small successes. Start with that first step. As a Chinese proverb reads,'A journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single step'
How about adopting Marshall Field's guidelines as we step out for the ultimate goal-success!
