FEAR CHECK LIST Identify Your Fears. _________ FEAR OF FAILURE Fear of failure is related to fear of criticism and rejection. Unsuccessful people (those not moving frontward) look at mistakes as permanent and personal. Most people self-limit themselves. They don’t achieve a fraction of what they are capable of achieving because they fear they will fail. _________ FEAR OF SUCCESS Fear of success can be just as paralyzing as fear of failure. Many people fear success because it tests their limits and makes them vulnerable to new situations. |CHANGE| Even worse, success can expose weaknesses and force people to deal with their flaws. Success is scary because it involves change. For people with a fear of success, their internal feelings when thinking about the possibility of success are very close to what is felt when they are failing at something. _________ FEAR OF INTIMIDATION Success can be intimidating and hard to handle. With success comes more challenges and responsibilities and that can be threatening. Sometimes people fear success because they don’t know if they can live up to their achievements. They don’t think they’re good enough or smart enough. They’re afraid they don’t have what it takes to rise to the challenge, and they don’t know if they can sustain their success. _________ FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN Fear of the unknown is a peculiar condition in most of us, where we find ourselves freezing up as we think of embarking upon something we are not acquainted with. Fear of the unknown can leave a person in a frozen status. This fear, in a way, restricts an individual into a particular fenced area of the “known”, depriving him from the excitement of meeting the future with enthusiasm. NOW YOU KNOW YOUR FEARS
