Now let's talk about the fear of failure. So my first question to you is, Are you afraid to fail? And I know you would say, No, I don't, I'm not afraid to fail. But just think a little bit harder. Are there any actions in your life that you didn't take? Because you had even unconsciously, you had this your failure, you are associated that if you take action, and then if you fail, it can mean something bad, it can mean pain, it can mean something uncomfortable.

So that's fine distinction. I want to discuss the fear of failure, because it's a fear that everyone has. So the first idea is to stop using the word failure. Because if you think about the word failure, it's really negative. It's like, it's bad. Like if someone fails, like it's not something that is amazing.

You know what I mean? So instead of using that word that has a negative meaning, I would like you to use the word learning. I learned, I got the result. The result can be good or the result can be bad by just changing your vocabulary by You use, it will change the association that you have with the world. Let me explain. When I take action, I don't feel anymore, I just get the result.

And the result can be good or can be good can be bad. Why just get a learning experience. So I used this idea of not using the word failure anymore in my life, and I just became unstoppable. Because I would act, I would just take massive action, because I knew I could not fail, I could just learn. And the failure is that if you take action and you learn nothing from it, so you see here, it's all about taking that action and learning from you actions. I want you to stop thinking about failure.

Failure is not if failure is an invention, it does not exist. Failure is if you don't take action towards your dream, I would like you to seek success and failure as twin sisters is like when you flip a coin, there are two sides. It means you can have heads or you can have tails And it's the same thing with success and failure, they come together. Some people think that they can only succeed, and they won't fail. But that's not how it happens, you must fail in order to succeed. I'm not saying that you should take stupid actions and then you don't get the results.

I'm not saying that I'm just saying that you could find someone more than someone who has the results that you want, and then take massive action, and you can cut your learning curve, but even with this strategy, you will fail. So I would like you to become comfortable with failure. I don't use the word failure anymore. But just to illustrate here, I would like you to become comfortable with failing that when you take action, there is a possibility of failing. And I would like you to fail fast. So now I would like just to share with you some failures of famous people, because we think that it's all about the successes, but we don't really see the other side of the coin, which is the failures.

The first one I would like to start with is Albert Einstein. So he didn't speak until he was four years old. Can you imagine that? before graduating from university, he almost dropped out because he was doing very poorly. This is the same person who created the theory of relativity and all the important work in mathematics and physics. In 1921, he created the beginning of quantum theory.

So the person who almost dropped out and the person who couldn't speak until four years old, has created amazing things in mathematics and physics. And other ones so try to guess with these. I've missed more than nine times 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeeded.

Do you know who it is? Michael Jordan was the reason he was fired from a local newspaper for not being creative enough, what is now? So it means that we wouldn't have was like we wouldn't have any one Disney movie or anything related to Walt Disney, if he would have stopped because someone said that he was not creative enough and why he was fired because of that. Steven Spielberg was rejected twice by the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb was told by his teachers, he was too stupid to learn anything. JK Rowling, the woman who wrote Harry Potter was a broke depressed divorce single mother, and simultaneously writing a novel while studying and she created Harry Potter.

So here, we can see that there are countless examples of people who are famous right now and who had many failures, but we don't really talk about the failures. They don't they only talk about the success and what ends up happening is that We think that in order to be successful, we don't have to fail. But if you really read biographies, and you learn about people who are successful, it's because they fail a lot. So I don't want you to be paralyzed by failure. Okay? It's something that you should act, you should take massive action.

And if you fail, first, you don't think you learn something. And if it happens, it happens. The more you fail, the more distinctions you might have. So that next time you can take better actions. Another issue is the fear of failure is that people die failure with their self worth, it means that they will die the results that they get with the Air Force, it means that if I take action and then I get the good result, I will feel good. And if I take action and I fail, I will feel bad.

And that will destroy my self force. And I'm not comfortable with that because time to outside events, it means that things that you don't control, which are the results, it's not something that you should do because Then you cannot have a real self force and a good self force. Because if you fail, you don't get the results, you feel bad. If you if you, if you get good results, then you feel good. And I don't want you to do like that with yourself first. Instead, what you should be doing is tying your self worth with the actions that you are taking towards your dream.

And this is what I do. I don't tie my ciphers to my success of my failures. I just tie myself first to I might taking the actions today towards my dreams. And if the answer is yes, I figured, why is that great? Because it's something that is 100% in my control. The action that I'm taking towards my dream is 100% in my control so I can control myself force, and it's something that I highly encourage you to do.

I would like you to see life as a playground. I would like you to just if you have to fail to fail fast. If you have to succeed to succeed fast. I'd like you to see life as a playground. Because this is what life is about is about experiments. experimenting things.

I would like you to find someone who has gotten the results that you want to get. You ask them the question, how did you do it. And that can prevent you from failing, but you will still fail along the way. And that can also make you save many years. So it's really important to find a mentor, find someone who got the result. Don't lose weight, find someone who lost weight, and ask them how they did it.

You want to start this new company, find someone who started that company, ask them how they did it, and you take action, you will still fail along the way. You must be comfortable with that. And that's why I would like you to just have the mindset of life is a playground. And another way to destroy the fear of failure is to try to look at life more positively. Because if there is a national that you want to take, and you are paralyzed by this fear of failure is because you are focusing on towards failure and everything bad that could happen. And if you focus on everything bad that could happen, you will struggle to take care action.

What if instead you focus on everything great that could happen? Imagine that you have the glass, the glass is half full, or the glass is half empty. It's up to you to decide how you want to see life. In my case, I decided to see life with the half full glass, it means that I'm always looking on the positive side of things. When I'm taking action. It means that I have this action.

And even if I'm afraid of failing, I will just look at Oh, what can I gain from the situation and look at the glass half full. And that will help me because if I focus on everything that could go wrong, the fear of failure will increase. So maybe right now, if you're really afraid of failing, it's because you're focusing on negative things on everything bad that could happen, and you just change your focus to positive things. Another way to decrease your fear of failure is to look at the worst case scenario. What could happen, what is the worst that could happen and some people think Say, Allah, if I take that action and I fade, I'm dead. Really?

Are you really dead? Do you want to go to India or to Africa or to like a really poor country and see what it is to be dead? Like, do you really want to go there and see what it is? Oh, no, no I'm so I won't be dead, but I would just have to find another job. Okay, that's better. So, we try to exaggerate things to protect ourselves from taking action.

So, what you should do is just write down the worst case scenarios means that if you fail, what can happen? So, you make a list of the worst case scenario, and then also right next to it, how you can overcome it. So that you will become really confident because if you know that, the worst case scenario, it doesn't mean that it will happen, but if that happens, that like the slight possibility, if that happens, you know, how you can overcome it. And then it become powerful and the fear of failure will decrease. So, here in this chapter, address I just wanted to show you that there are fears failure, or the fear of failure is real. And it's not something that should paralyze you.

If you use the tips here that I gave you, you can take massive action towards your dreams.
