Why you should not fear failure...but be terrified of regret?

In last week's Fast Track Friday, my live weekly Facebook session, which provides powerful self-development skills, I talked about why you should not fear failure, but you should be terrified of regret.

As we approach the end of 2019; I ask that you reflect on what regrets you have from this year. Are there missed opportunities, did you let people down or worse still let yourself down by not committing to your own promises and resolutions? The one thing that's absolutely clear is bathing in regret is an appalling waste of energy.

Unless it is a life and death situation, few things are greater than fear itself, and yet it can create paralysis. It can stop you in your tracks and prevent you from fulfilling your true potential.

Make a promise to yourself that you are going to make a difference in your own life in 2020. Whether it is work goals, personal achievements such as losing weight, learning a new skill or saving money for a dream holiday or deposit for a house, the one thing that I can say without a doubt is that by not trying is a sure-fire way to fail. Trust yourself to get it right but allow yourself to have slip-ups along the way. Please write down your plans, monitor them daily. Where your focus goes, the energy flows! Ask yourself, where will I be this time next year?

I wish you every success for 2020. It really is all down to you.
