Take a look back at your life over the past 12 months, and tally up how many times you won at something, and how many times you lost out. If you feel that you have lost more times than you would have liked in the last year, you need to ask yourself how many times you did everything within your power to win.
It is a common problem for people not to be doing everything that they can in the situations that they are presented with and, as such, they miss out on seizing the various opportunities presented to them in their life. Therefore, the root cause of their losses is themselves.
So, what is the biggest thing that is currently holding you back from going all out and playing to win? Your answer is most likely the same as the answer given by the vast majority of people, or at least a variation on it, which is fear of failure.
Ask yourself - How many times in your life have you bailed out of a situation, or sat back and been a spectator, just because failure was an unbearable option?
This fear is literally stealing opportunities from you. Opportunities will always continue to present themselves, but whilst you keep on holding back, you will never be able to fully seize them. Even a slight fear of failure is sufficient enough, as not giving everything you have puts you at a serious disadvantage.
Your fortune is sealed the moment that you submit to your fear of failure. By not even trying, how can you ever hope to win?
The fact that the chance of success is small is no reason to not at least try. It is not just in the movies that the underdog wins, it is a regular occurrence in every aspect of life, in every town, in every country, every day. Life is unpredictable, but it can only work in your favor if you give it a chance to.
You will have no doubt heard the phrase "Aim for the moon, at least if you miss you will be among the stars" before, and that can be nicely applied to the point being made here.
By chasing the big opportunities that arise, you will be pushing yourself to be the best that you can possibly can be, and by doing that you will be in a better position in failing than you would in if you had done nothing at all. You might not always get exactly what you were aiming for, but the second and third prizes are often worthwhile.
Your self-confidence will improve by following this approach and so will the confidence that others have you in, as they will see you as being someone with a positive, can-do attitude, which is the type of attitude that others like to be around, and like to believe in.
Whilst it does not necessary matter what others think about you, this will make your life easier, and you will have more support, which means that the next time that you are aiming for the moon, you will have people around you to give you a little extra boost. - 31955
