Fear is the ultimate barrier that separates ordinary from exceptional individuals. Holding on is another aspect that we must take into account because of ciriticism, conversations with pessimistic people. Keeping on the bold way is the second challenge. http://www.twitter.com/LilianMahoukou Absolutely great! Fear is the ultimate barrier that separates ordinary from exceptional individuals.

I just want to add that if you can't find it in you to be confident then fake it till you make it. In other words, dress for the job you want not the job you have.

Failure is the KEY to success. Something we all ask ourselves is 'should I try and (maybe) fail, or not try at all'? The people who can step outside of their comfort zone, be bold, and take some risks, are the ones that will ultimately receive the greatest pay-off. It's easier said than done, to put yourself out there, to set yourself up for potential failure. But it's those people who take the risk that will come out on top, where they want to be, without regrets, in the end. Good post Jamie. Number 10 hits home with me. Failure is the KEY to success.

Don't get too hung up on the goal. Going hell for leather to get somewhere is useless if you're miserable or not noticing what there is along the way. Having a goal can be a useful short term strategy, but they have to exist within a wider context or will they'll easily lose a personal relevance. 2. The confidence/arrogance thing. There is a curiously fine line, but equally curiously they're completely different states. Confidence is quiet, arrogance is noisy. 3. I think it's okay and perfectly human to have doubts. The difference between fear and doubt is that your doubts are there to help prepare you for what might happen when you take action, whereas your fears are there to stop from from taking action. I think it's possible to have doubts and still take bold action. I'll be bold enough to ask a girl out, for example, but could still have doubts over whether there's a future in the relationship. Boldness comes from being willing to see what happens, not from knowing what will happen. Useful ideas Jamie – but I want to say a couple of things.

I think being afraid of failure clouds just about everyone's judgement at some point. It's truly something you have to overcome. I read a great book called The Fearless Executive recently that summed failure up into 7 types - Fears of Inadequacy, Rejection, Scarcity, Reality, Unknown, Authority, and Aging. It was eye-opening to say the least. Love your #10. I think being afraid of failure clouds just about everyone’s judgement at some point. It’s truly something you have to overcome.
