Frozen by Fear of Failure?
By Jody NolandWhy is the thought of failure so terrifying for most of us?
Why does it keep us from launching out into the unknown, from trying new things, from taking risks, from pursuing our dreams?
Is it because we have allowed our self-worth to be based on our performance? Do we think the only way we’ll be accepted is if we never fail? Do we communicate that message to our children, too?
Has perfectionism or “playing it safe” unintentionally become a god?
