#9 Solocast - Failure Thoughts
Think about how you think. When you are faced with something important or the unknown, do you think about what could go wrong, what will cause you to fail or what you are afraid of? What if your thoughts focused on what if everything went to plan, everything went right, I'm am good enough to do this, I will belong here or I deserve this?
Think about children, a child will see something new an unknown and see it as opportunity and focus only on getting after it, they don't fear failure, set back or not being good enough. At some point we all seen opportunity in everything and as we developed, our environment changed our thinking to mostly see failure and to be averse of taking these risks out of fear.
Changing you thinking however, could dramatically change how you experience these situations, your final outcomes and ultimately how you fulfill your life.
