How to Overcome a Fear of Failure

Are you afraid to fail? You’re not alone. Many people were never taught a healthy perspective about making mistakes. “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki puts it this way: ‘Winners view failure as a key part of the process of success. People who avoid failure, also avoid success.’ So if you’ve been living with the mindset that if you aren’t failing, you are succeeding. Maybe it’s time to pause and adjust your approach. Try something new today. Celebrate mistakes as learning opportunities and allow them to propel you towards the accomplishment of your goals. And keep in mind another Kiyosaki tip: ‘The easy road often becomes hard and a hard road often becomes easy.’
