One of the success principals of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is the assumption that there is no failure, only feedback.  This is a great principal to adopt because if it was true, we could easily drop the fear of failure!

Ask yourself: what is it that I need to sacrifice in myself to be able to see a specific event as feedback?

Have you been someone who in the past has procrastinated about certain tasks simply because of the fear of failure or the fear of not being good enough?  Guess what, our egos are very clever in protecting us from failure that very often, we don’t even become consciously aware of this protection mechanism.  All we notice is that there are simply many ‘good reasons’ why we are not able to start a certain project or perform a certain task: “Just another quick cup of tea”  - “Oh, and I really need to call my mother, I haven’t been in touch iwht her for ages” - “I’ll just quickly check my e-mails, because I really need to get back to people” - “I’m suddenly really tired” - Can you relate

“Procrastination is suicide on the installment plan.” Unknown Author

“The Optimist sees opportunity in every danger; the pessimist sees danger in every opportunity.” Winston Churchill

It’s all in the mind, so make a game of finding something positive in every situation.  Make a game of finding the positive learning in every apparent defeat, because, as Brian Tracy puts its it: “Ninety-five percent of your emotions are determined by how you interpret events to yourself.”

I invite you to eradicate the concept of failure nad replace it with the idea of feedback!
