UNDERSTANDING FEAR OF FAILURE

UNDERSTANDING FEAR OF FAILURE

The fear of failure is one of the most common forms of fear. It holds you back in life. It causes you to procrastinate, to avoid, to play safe, and ultimately to self-sabotage yourself.

So, the fear of failure is the emotional response from the brain to the perspective of pains in the forms of embarrassment, rejection, disappointment, or loss of money, social relations, credibility, or self-esteem.

Success = If the outcome of a situation is in accordance with our goal or our desire, we call it a success.

Failure =if the outcome of a situation is not what we expect, we call it a failure
