FEAR of FAILURE
“Childhood impressions are important”
A very successful man when stated the reason for therapy as
having the “Fear of failure”……we had a pregnant pause with
understanding there is more to come.
From studies to career and even now at every juncture of new
challenge. He always has an immense pressure in his chest….
And an insane degree of fear of failure takes him in its grip.
Resultant he resort to fierce competition to some extant doing
good but, for a large part
• Getting repetitive; fear seldom leaves a window for any
creative thinking
• Practically has no friend; since he sees everyone as
competition only.
• Puts up long and strenuous hour; sometimes for work but
more to keep appearance.
• Outcome, strained personal relationships; at home with
spouse, children parents etc…
This fear of failure was getting stronger and stronger, so much
so that Instead of new challenges he has started opting for safe
and reliable and was really perplexed “What happened to my
zeal for Life?
By his credentials: a topper in college and very competitive at
work.
