Fear of Failure ??

First of all ask yourself this question: ‘What does failure really mean to and for me?’

I think we all experienced the fear of failure at one point or another in our lives. And I want to dive deeper into what exactly is failure and how you can thrive.?

For me, the answer is quite simple: failure is when I give up, because when I give up, then that's it. I stopped the process, and nothing can be done about this anymore.

Failure is only a failure if you quit, because if you quit then you don't have the opportunity to learn from it, to grow from it. And it will most likely end up being a negative experience.?

Now let's #reframe failure. Take failure and say it's not a failure but learning - now there is an opportunity and potential for growth. This simple change in wording is so incredibly effective. You can now learn so much about yourself, about your business, about your relationship - and then through that process, you can step out of the role of a victim and take back the power, because your are now inquisitive instead of judging and blaming yourself and others around you.

Once you have that power taken back, you can make different choices, because in order for growth to happen, you have to accept that learning is part of it.? You can then ask yourself: ‘What do I need to change in order for it to work out?’. And then you implement that knowledge and you're taking action from that new perspective. And then again, if it doesn't work out, you can ask the same question and you do that over and over and over again until it works. Because no matter what you set out to do in life, you're gonna have experiences where you feel like ‘that's not it’. If you stop, that's failure because that's quitting - DON’T QUIT!

Important disclaimer: This is only in regards to things that are in alignment with your vision and not, for example, a job that you hate or a relationship that is destructive or abusive - in those cases by all means QUIT (and please seek help if you are in danger).?

I truly believe that every person is unlimited, except for the limits they set on themselves. And those limits are partially from childhood and from the experiences that you've made over the past years or decades - and to a certain degree limits that were passed down in your genes from your ancestors. But it's really those experiences that limit you if - you let them. Again, you can either take all those experiences and limit yourself or you can take all those experiences and use them to grow, to expand, to really become alive.

What do you choose - to QUIT ? or to THRIVE ???
