OVERCOMING FAILURE BY BECOMING SUCCESSFUL

The greatest fear of 90% of the world population is the fear of failure (ATYCHIPHOBIA).
Failure as it is defined by the Encarta Dictionary is:

• Feeling of anxiety: an unpleasant feeling of anxiety or apprehension caused by the presence of anticipation of danger.

• Frightening thought: an idea, thought or other entity that cause the feeling of fear.

• Reverence : respect or awe for somebody or something.

• Worry: a concern about something that threatens to bring bad news or results.

One of the reasons why people fail in their respective Endeavour is lack of preparation.
Have you ever wonder why do people actually fail an examination after they have been taught that same lesson in class, well many lazy student ascribe that to they read and they do not understand, some say that they do not like the subject, some they do not like the lecturer all these are excuses but whatever the excuse may be FAILURE IS FAILURE there is no big or small failure.
Let me drift your mind to the scientific world, do you know that one of the most successful creatures in the world are the Insect.
Have you ever wonder how these small creatures are that successful even when they have so many predators such as birds(goosed), reptiles (agama lizard),mammals( man), amphibians(frog) etc that tend to destroy their populations.
Well the answer is quite simple, it is because this animals are well organized for example the ant can never lack what to eat during the dry or rainy season due to proper planning.
Let me use another example which involves the ART discipline.
Well as a steemian have you ever seen a good writer that wants to publish a book that will become a bestselling book just wakes up in the morning and start writing before evening he is done publishes the book that same day and start selling. Well my reply to that person is sorry because it will become a total failure.
Anyone who wants to write a bestselling book do not usually rush his or her self, proper planning is needed so that the information is been passed to the reader successfully.
What I’m I trying to insinuate is that proper planning is needed for one to become successful.
Well It’s not just only proper planning that is needed to be successful they are other ingredient that are required. The method I am about to tell you is a tested one that was used by me in my first year in the university and it really helped me in having 6 A’s, 1 B and 1 C why I got the C I will explain to you later.

STEPS TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL BY DEFEATING YOU FEAR

* HAVE A GOAL

* VISUALIZE YOUR GOAL

* DRAFT OUT HOW TO ACHEIEVE YOUR GOAL (DEPENNDANT)

* DETERMINATION

* WALK WITH TIME

* AVOID DISTRACTION

* REWARD YOUR SELF AFTER ACHIEVING YOUR GOAL

HAVE A GOAL
The first thing you must do to be successful is having a goal. Having a goal is what keeps you focused so as not to derail during your journey in life.
To me what I do is writing the goals down on a sheet of paper and tagging it on the wall close to where I read.
Mind you the goal must be in a decreasing preference of what you need i.e the most important ones should come first in the list.

VISUALIZE YOUR GOALS (VERY IMPORTANT)
Writing your goals down is not enough another step that is required is visualiziation.
This involves seeing yourself after you have achieved your goal, how proud you will be.
Me when I usually do this most times I am always smiling.
Have you ever seen a student who got an A in a difficult course and you expect him or her to be happy but he just smiles, that person have already seen himself achieving that score before time in most cases.

DRAFT OUT HOW TO ACHEIEVE YOUR GOAL (DEPENNDANT)
The next on the list is the big question:
HOW CAN I ACHIEVE MY GOALS?
Here what is required of you is to write out all possible step that can be used to achieve the goal then pick the one that requires less effort and greater result as your method.

DETERMINATION
This I call the fuel that keeps you burning. In life those that do great things are those that are highly determined because there are so many obstructions on the ways as you advance towards achieving your goal, of them all the greatest is YOURSELF and the only thing that can be used to destroy your self is determination.
Be determined and the sky will be your starting point

WALK WITH TIME
As the popular saying goes time si money.
Invest every opportunity that could be a wasted one into achieving your goals and your reward awaits you in future.

AVOID PROCRASTINATION
The greatest theft of time is PROCRASTINATION and the only way to defeat this thief is to avoid him.

REWARD YOUR SELF AFTER ACHIEVING YOUR GOAL
This part is usually left out by many people, rewarding your self have a way of:
Increasing your self esteem
Increasing your enthusiasm of doing more etc
Rewarding your self doesn’t necessarily mean buying yourself a private jet, NO.
But getting yourself small gifts such as pen, wrist watch etc has a great way of boosting your self confidence.
If all these rules are followed I assure you that SUCCESS will become your middle name.

Finally why I got that C was because I was busy watching 24 hours Jack baur a night to my exams and that was the result of such act.

In summary becoming a failure is just a choice and I have giving some proven method used b y me in overcoming failure. If you really want to overcome yours why not try it.
WISHING YOU GOODLUCK.
