I Have Failed Before And I Feel Like I Am Going To Fail Again

Remembering and learning from past mistakes is a good thing because it helps us to make better choices in the future.

But we run into trouble when the lesson we learned from past failures is that we are failures and that we will fail again.

Today we are going to tap for feeling that failure is a pattern we are bound to keep repeating.

I Have Failed Before And I Feel Like I Am Going To Fail Again
(audio 4m33s)

I have goals…I have dreams…I have things that I want to achieve…And I know it’s going to take work…And I know it’s going to take me learning new things…I know it’s going to have me stepping outside of my comfort zone…And there is a part of me…That recognizes the fact…That things could go wrong…There’s a part of me…That recognizes that I could fail…And one of the main reasons…That I know this is a possibility…Is because I have failed in the past…And because I have failed in the past…There’s a part of me that fears that I am going to fail again…And I hate failing…It’s embarrassing…It’s demoralizing…It wastes time and energy…But I recognize the fact…I have overcome failure before…Everything that I’ve accomplished in my life…Was preceded with me not accomplishing it…And some things that I failed at…I failed at many times before I was successful…And I remember those failures…And I don’t want to repeat those failures…And that’s why I’m hesitant…But I remember failures more…Because of their scope and how unusual they are…I don’t remember the thousands of times I walked up stairs successfully…I only remember the times that I failed…I don’t remember the thousands of car rides I’ve been in safely…I only remember the accidents…And this is no different…I remember my failures more…Because they stand out more than the successes…At some point in the future I will fail again…And I will survive…And I will move on…And I will succeed at some of those things I fail at…It’s good to be cautious…It’s good to be thoughtful…But I don’t have to fear failure.
