How to Overcome Fear & Failure

                                                  Overcoming the fear & failure

The stadium was jam-packed, he was standing on the start point with his approx 4.5 meters long pole vault pole, heart beat was racing like anything. The Time came; the pole he was holding was getting disappeared in his mind almost in comparison with the record of Sergei Bubka, 6.15 meters but his willpower and determination were certainly on their peak.

He started that great run, put one side of the pole on the ground, attempted  the jump , everybody sitting in the stadium glued their eyes on him.

He lifted his body up in the Air, the moment he crossed the pole he was sure that he has done it, he just broken the world record remained indestructible since 21 years made by Sergei Bubka..

This was not the first attempt that got success BUT!!! You just think that how many attempted failed during those 21 years by how many champions until  it was broken by Renaud Lavillenie, who perched it at 6.16 meters.

Failure does happen, and sometimes it’s inevitable but we must accept this reality that Failure does happen. And move ahead without being getting bothered from it.

I am suggesting 3 ways to overcome the fear & failure- 

1. Fear is normal: The fear of failure is normal; it gives us spark to perform at our level best and help us to keep our eye on track. Accept your fear just as a good omen and in spite of putting all your effort you do not get success, give yourself one more time. Find your flaw work on it; remove it and move ahead on the path of success.

2. Look at your previous success: How you did that, it can inspire you enough to mitigate the pain of recent failure you have faced or facing. Turn every criticism in an inspirational statement for yourself  let the chunk work, keep success in your mind, be inspired with the positive memories of your past success and let your mind believe YES!!! I can do it again.

3. Give it one more try: failed? why don’t you try again, there is no harm giving yourself a chance again until you get success… put your efforts again and again till success come to your feet.
