Earlier this week I briefly mentioned the role fear plays in reaching goals. Your fears are what generates negative thoughts. Those thoughts are often disguised as logical problems or potential dangers. Most of the time, however, when these thoughts come into your head it is directly connected to something you fear and it is a perceived threat and not a real threat. However, when we get one of those thoughts it sounds like this, "Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!" (If you don't recognize that quote, type it into your search engine, and you'll see where it came from!) I thought I would share some quotes with you this morning specifically about fear of failure. Perhaps one of them will be just the one that speaks to you. If so, I recommend you copy it and post somewhere that you will see it everyday.
"There is no failure except in no longer trying.
" Elbert Hubbard
"Our greatest glory consist not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
Oliver Goldsmith
"Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.
" George Herman "Babe" Ruth
"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.
" William Shakespeare
"Half of the failures in life come from pulling one's horse when he is leaping.
" Thomas Hood
(You have to get a visual image of that last quote in order to truly appreciate what it is saying!)
