Welcome back to the podcast. My name is Joseph Clough and this is episode 852.

Now in today's session we're talking about how we can overcome the fear of failing, the fear of not being able to achieve your goals, your dreams, your desires.

Because it's something that is one of the main fears that we go for in life.

So we can have, for example, the fear of rejection, the fear of success, the fear of not being enough, the fear of not being of value, all of those things, and of course, the fear of

failure. So it's a bit hard to break them all down on one episode. So I want to just kind of focus

on this one today, which is overcoming the fear of failure. I want you to see this episode as getting you in the position

to move on despite that so-called failure. And the reason why is if we are going to change,

we must assume responsibility for where we are.

Like, this is where we are. I fear failure, this is where I am.

To get into that small level of acceptance, but something needs to be done about it.

Nothing to run from, nothing to hide from, nothing to repress.

This is just where I am. I fear failure, and you

might even fill in the blank here, I fear failure because, fill in the blank, because what people

may think of me, because it may hurt me, because whatever it is, just have that in your mind about i fear failure

because of this because as you start to recognize them we can start to dive into them we can start to

see what we can do about it because we've had this belief system that we must fear failure.

Where did that come from? Now it's going to come from different places for different people,

but maybe it's because we've had high expectations placed upon us for our family, through our childhood,

through school, through society, through partners and relationships.

Like this fear of failure can come from many different ways, many different places.

So I'm going to be afraid to fail because of these past situations.

We've been hypnotized to think that is reality.
