On Fear of Failure
"Those buzz words, “fear of failure,”
someone really did a job of coining a phrase that has hounded a lot of people for a long time.
“Fear of failure”.
Now, let’s break that down:
Fear means,
I’m focusing upon the opposite of what I want.
And failure has never been on my Things-To-Do-Today List.
So, we think fear and failure are perfect words to go together,
because when I look at success, I feel good.
When I imagine success, I feel good.
When I imagine failure, I feel awful.
Now, why would I feel awful, when I contemplate failure?
‘Cause I don’t want failure,
because my Inner Being sees me as a successful Being.
So, when I have images of failure that I’m focused upon,
of course, you’re going to feel fear.
That’s like saying,
“Why does my hand hurt when I put it on the hot stove?”
We say, because the stove’s hot.
You say, “Yeah, but why does it hurt when I put my hand on the hot stove?”
We say, well, because the stove is hot.
You say, “Yeah, but why does it HURT when I put my hand on the hot stove?”
It’s the same thing.
“Why do I feel negative emotion when I contemplate failure?”
Because your Guidance System is saying to you:
"When possible, make a legal u-turn."
It’s good that you feel fear of failure.
You’re not supposed to ever feel celebratory in the anticipation of failure. You see?
Well, we’re just scratching the surface of it,
but don’t you think that’s a remarkable revelation?
And aren't you proud of yourself
that when you contemplate failure,
that your Guidance System is working the way it is supposed to?
So, if you don’t want to feel fear—
don’t think about failure.
Do you have the power to think about something other than failure?
Of course you do,
you do it all the time.
You see, so, do you hear what you’re saying? You’re saying,
“Something must be wrong with me,
because every time I think about failure, I feel bad.
I've got this fear that comes up in me when I think about failure.”
And we say, "And there’s something wrong with that?"
It’s good. It’s good that you feel that emotion when you think that thought,
because that thought is so contrary to who you are and what you want,
and what your Source Energy knows about you.
So, there’s nothing wrong with you!"
