We are in a society obsessed with success and failure and we allow that to influence us in our lives to become afraid of failing. That failing means we are not worthy and we are not a good person and this holds us back in life to living out our dreams and rising to our potential and massive under achievement as adults, many people take on the belief that they are a failure and it becomes part of their identity and as adults we will do anything we can to stay consistent with our own identity. Don't let failure control your life. A change in your belief system will help you get past your fear of failure.
