Fear of Failure — Why Is It So Hard to Commit?
Do you say you want to make something happen, but in reality you’re avoiding the commitment?
Does your fear of failure keep you from putting yourself out in the world?
And what can we learn from the mighty honey badger about getting over our precious egos?
In today’s coaching call, I talk with someone who says their purpose in life is to be a life coach. However, when we look at his actions and progress, we see that his fear of failing keeps him stuck. We explore a strange way to overcome this fear of failure as well as what it takes to truly commit to the work.
In this interview:
- Are you out of alignment with your life purpose?
- Fear of putting yourself out in the world
- “We dick around to the extent that our life allows us to dick around.”
- How to make following through the easiest thing to do
- Being the pro vs the amateur
Plus:
- Finding peace by experiencing what we’re trying to avoid
- What if you were good at dying (and being reborn)?
- Phil Stutz – “Only the dead survive.”
- What can we learn about the mighty honeybadger?
- Fixating on yourself instead of the difference you make
Note: What you’re about to hear is an actual coaching call. The person being coached volunteered and gave explicit permission to have our conversation recorded for this podcast.
