But here’s the thing: having the fear is natural. Letting it stop you from going after your dreams is a tragedy.
I did this, for well over a decade of my adult life. I let the fear of not being good enough stop me from even trying, from even daring to dream.
It turned out that my fears were baseless. I am good enough. I’m not perfect, but who is?
When I was able to overcome this fear of not being good enough, this fear of failure and rejection, and put myself out there in the world, I succeeded. I found out that I was good enough.
And I still have this same fear — I still worry that I’m not good enough, that I’ll fail and flop on my face in front of 100,000 people … but I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t. Even the most successful people — Barack Obama, Steve Jobs, Paul McCartney, J.K. Rowling, et al — they have this fear, even if they don’t show it. But they don’t let it hold them back.
How can you do this? Let’s look into it.
“The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.” - Sven Goran Eriksson
How to Beat Your Fears
There is no step-by-step program to beating your fears, but here’s what I’ve learned, first-hand and from others.
1. First, acknowledge your fear.This is a huge first step. If you do just this today, you’ve done something great. Many of us have these fears, but they are at the back of our mind, unnoticed, unacknowledged, as we try to ignore them and pretend they’re not there. But they are there. And they affect us, every day, all our lives. So acknowledge the fear.
