What is your Greatest Fear?

Here is a list of the top 8 greatest fears that people experience in life.

• The fear of failure. ...
• The fear of rejection. ...
• The fear of missing out. ...
• The fear of change. ...
• The fear of losing control. ...
• The fear of being judged. ...
• The fear of something bad happening. ...
• The fear of getting hurt.

Notice that #1 is of course Fear of Failure. I published a book a while back addressing the fact that failure is nothing more than a state of mind.

You can simply not fail at anything if you have learned from the perceived failure.

So let's take a quick look at the definition of the Acronym FEAR

False Evidence Appearing Real

When we percieve something as real, then in our mind it is real. Just as real as real can be. But if we look at the possibility of failure in the way of Thomas Edison who one stated after failing at over 10,000 experiments while developping the filament for the incandescent light bulb, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Edison had not failed although a lesser man may have given up, bur he persevered until his ultimate success led him to being credited with what many consider to be his most noteworthy invention.

So you need to make some decisions in your life, you can succomb to the fear of failure, or you can look failure straight in the eye and say, I refuse to allow you to beat and defeat me. You can succeed in any area of your life simply by refusing to fail. Take the word 'failure' out of your vocabulary and see what happens in your life.

Always remember, I've got nothin but luv for ya.
