Do you fear failure?

Dear Aspen reader,

Fear of failure. It's so real. But do you want to know a secret? If you let the fear of failing keep you from moving toward the situation that you are fearing, your life will never, ever have the impact that you desire. If you allow that fear to keep you from taking a step or facing a situation head on, you will most definitely lose as you become a prisoner to the fear. Ultimately, you have failed because you never took the chance.

And the real truth: fear only exists in your mind. It's possible, yet hypothetical and a 100% mental battle. Often what is causing fear is a situation deemed as unexpected or one filled with unknowns. But pressing into the unexpected and unknown can create a possibility that you weren’t even aware existed. Instead of seeing a potential failure as an opportunity for disappointment, view it as a chance for you to create a new piece of your story. You were designed for great things. Never let the fear of failure keep you from participating in your own life.

So I invite you today, to step out into the unfamiliar and push even harder toward the issue that has you bound in the fear of failure. As you grab the situation with both hands, the relief and release that you will feel will be insurmountable. Don't allow fear to paralyze you but instead propel you into the direction that you need to move.


In health,

Alecia
