Have you come across a situation where you feel that your
need to participate is outweighed by the fear of failure.
I believe all of us come across such situations where we
realize the rewards to be reaped if we take a step forward face the challenge
head one whether it is a Client presentation at office or a difficult
task/decision at him. At the same time we feel almost paralyzed by the pressure
to perform and succeed and very often let the opportunity slip away as we feel
that we are not up to it.
My life experiences and the years spent in the IT industry
has taught me one thing “You are always up to it”. It is only a matter of
overcoming the fear/ nervousness /anxiousness surrounding a challenge at hand.
Of-course this is easier said than done and any of us can recall the anxiety
while we are sitting in audience gathering the courage to raise the hand.
“Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its
forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle
is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance.”
- Robert Collier (American author of self-help, and New
Thought metaphysical books in the 20th century)
