Fear of failure is major cause of procrastination. It disturb our actions and push away our life goals. But, this problem fortunately can be helped by examining it closely.

So…

Firstly, What is failure actually?

By definition, failure is an absence or lack of success. In general, unable to meet a self standard or failing below a standard.

Let’s take a look what is normal life be like,

  1. Everybody has their own standard to achieve goals
  2. If you want to learn or achieve something, you need to encounter your tasks outside your safe zone.
  3. The more you make mistake, the more you will learn.
  4. Failure can make you a better person.

Therefore, it seems that failure is an inevitable part of life. It actually a necessary companion to anybody who tries to become better at anything.

Secondly, tend to relate “failure” as worthless

We tend to use “failure” as worthless and incompetent. However, these words in relation to you are overgeneralizations. Overgeneralization is the act of drawing conclusions that are too broad because they exceed what could be logically concluded from the available information.
