Listen "Failure Is a Necessary Step Forward"
Episode Synopsis
Failure is a nasty word to many. But why? Why do we have such an aversion to it? Why do we let it paralyzes us? Why is it that the fear of failure prevents artists from creation? And the fear of failure comes in many forms – sometimes it’s even disguised as procrastination. Make no mistake, our aversion to failure can have dire consequences. But then, WHY are we so afraid? Judgment? Self-pity? I’m sure you can name a myriad of answers. Sadly, there are people, including myself, who know that failure is the key to success and yet we avoid it like the plague. So how do you rid yourself of this idea that you’re a failure? You don’t. You work in spite of it. See, the most successful people in the world are not successful because they possess something you or I don’t, they are successful because they continue on. In this lesson, I (Phil Svitek) examine where our fear of failure comes from but more importantly I give you ways to overcome this crippling sensation. If you don’t, then this fear can be dire and lead you astray from your creative endeavors. Follow the given steps in this lesson and you too can grow and succeed against any challenge that life presents you. Please leave a comment with any questions or opinions you may have so I can respond to you and keep the conversation going. Thank you.
