We have failed in the past and that failure has hurt. Because we have experienced failure in our past it can make us gun shy of taking bold action in the future. When this happens we become hesitant or even stop taking action at all.
Today we are going to tap for those times when our fear of the pain of failure is greater than our desire to take action.
The Pain Of Failure Is Greater Than The Feeling Of Success So I Just Don’t Want To Try
(audio 5m31s)
I want to be successful…Success feels good…Success brings reward…It brings everything good that comes with achieving this goal…It’s why I’m putting forth effort…Because whenever I feel less success…Is better than where I am right now…That is why I’m following these goals…That is why I’m working towards this…But I recognize the fact…Failure is painful…Failure is no fun…And there’s a part of me…That is afraid to make effort…Because it feels the pain of failure…It fears all of the negative emotions that come along with failure…It fears the disappointment…It fears the judgment…It fears others seeing me fail…And there are times…With that failure…And the pain of that failure…Feel so much bigger…Than success and the joy of success…And because the negative feels so much worse than the positive…There’s a part of me that doesn’t want to try…Because it doesn’t feel like a fair fight…If I succeed, I only get a little…If I fail, I lose a lot…But the success that I achieve…Is more than momentary…Because the success that I succeed…Continues to add up moment by moment…When I achieve I don’t have it just for now…But I have that success into every moment…And it multiplies into the future…Failure is temporary…Because I get a chance to try again…But the successes I have…Build on other successes…And multiply over time…Even though they only feel momentary…Even though they only feel miniscule…They add up…I’m right, it’s not a fair fight…Comparing the success to the failure…But it’s the other way around…Because the successes add up…Because they multiply…They are so much bigger than any failure.
This is spot on! When I was trying to move forward on a particular project, I would stop at a certain point. I would ask myself “Why?”
Why am I not moving forward? Why do I get to a point and stop?
This is why…because the pain of failure was stronger than the joy of success.
Now that this has been revealed, I expect the tables to turn.
Thank you!! I needed this today to help me with a huge decision!!!
… And I give myself permission to succeed! I tapped on this statement a few times and also tapped the inside of my wrists together to help lock it in. This is SPOT ON Perfect timing.
I have had a few serendipitous events coming along and guiding me forward, and wouldn’t you know it, this is the tapping that came along today. Woo Hoo! I am going to c&p this and print it out to have at hand. This is a good one to say for a few days and then have it around for any future times I feel this way!
Super, duper awesome, thanks so much!!!
