Turn failure from a fear into a friend
Fear of failure is, naturally, a big one when it comes to goal pursuit. Unfortunately, nobody can guarantee that you won’t fail. In fact, the surer bet is that you will fail, over and over again. So Matthews suggests reframing the way you think of fear, rather than waiting for it to go away. “Do it scared” she says. “Failure is a great teacher, and it affords you the opportunity to learn from mistakes. There are aspects of failure that can be very humbling and teach you to ask for help, which helps build character.”
