Fear of Failure
It is said that we use only 4% of our brain. And some of us use 80% of that thinking about fear.
It is natural to be fearful, for we are not psychic beings who can see the future. What if we are 100% sure we are going to succeed, will we still have fear? What if we are 80% sure? 50% sure? What if we don't know even the percent of how sure we are? That's when doubts come in. That's when the fear of failure shows its ugly head. That's when we use just 1% of our brain.
We can regain that 3%, and even more...much, much more. But it will take courage. And faith. And a lot of sense of humor.
This blog is not an expert treatise on fear, nor a psychological study on what makes us afraid. Rather, it is a forum on how we each experienced fear and conquered it through action. This is not theory. It is practice.
