Fear of Failure: How to End It NowSýnishorn

I really enjoy Michael Jordan’s perspective on overcoming failures. Arguably the best basketball player ever, he was cut from the high-school basketball team. To me, that speaks volumes. 

When he started, he was not very good – most people who get cut from their high-school teams concede to the fact that they aren’t gifted in that particular sport. Michael chose not to believe that and continued to work at his game – failing, failing, and failing some more. 

But, he must have failed so much that he figured out exactly how to play the game to be better than the rest of the world. 

He said, “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.” 

For me, part of the process of defeating the fear of failure was making a conscious decision to FAIL. I was so bound up in fear that I wouldn’t take a step forward in any direction. I needed to just take a step – whether it failed or succeeded didn’t matter, I just needed to get past the fear of it. If you are in the situation that I was in, I encourage you to prayerfully look at what God has called you to, and don’t be afraid to step out.
