Don't let Fear, Criticism, and Failure hold you back!

Another beautiful day! Hey everyone, it is Oikawa again; I hope you are all having a fantastic week. It is the second day of December. Soon, we will be saying hello to the new month of December.

At the end and beginning of a month, I don't know if it is tradition. 

Still, here on this platform, everyone usually shares their earnings. It is not a way of bragging or anything; it shows that the platform is valid and we are grateful. 

Personally, I love reading these articles because it encourages me to do more and become better than the previous month. 

I remember when I started here on readcash, and the first post I read was the monthly summary of another user.

I don't quite remember because it was long ago, but reading gave me the courage to continue writing here. 

This was my first time writing, and I didn't even know if people would come read what I wrote, and this filled me with fear of criticism, failure, and disappointment.

I guess that is why most people aren't ready to start anything new, and they stick to their usual ways of doing things.

The fear of criticism and failure is so intense that no one is ever willing to chase something new.

I know so many people that have unique talents and skills that if they choose to utilize them well, they will benefit from it.

But the problem is they are afraid of what people will say if they choose to showcase their talent and if they will actually benefit from it.

Many adults have had great ideas on how to leave their jobs and start their own businesses. Still, when it comes down to actually taking action, they get scared and go back to doing their usual activities.

I know it is not easy to make life-changing decisions like that, but some decisions in life are meant to be tough because those decisions will define how our life would be.

Some people want to start on this platform, but they are afraid of failing and being criticized for their work. 

I had some friends who knew about this platform, but the moment they knew they had to be releasing content from their minds, they fled. 

When I informed them, the first thing, they told me was, "What if people hate or criticize my work."

How would you improve without criticism? 

If you don't receive criticism, you will never become better or improve in what you are doing. Criticism can be harmful or good; it all depends on the people that are giving you feedback.

If you are doing the wrong thing on this platform, people will tell you, and they will try to tell you in the most polite way possible. 

Sometimes it is good to receive criticism because it shows that the people around you genuinely want you to improve your work and only want the best for you.

Suppose a person can get rid of the fear of failure and criticism. 

In that case, I am sure they would be able to pursue and achieve anything they want because the only thing holding people back is "Fear."

Fear, criticism, and failure these three factors are what make the difference between a successful person and someone who stays the same.

You need to ask yourself: 

"Are you going to let your fear consume your talents and skills, or will you take the risk and do things that will help you develop yourself as a person."

"No matter how dark the night is, it will eventually turn to day.

It doesn't matter if they criticize you or if things fail; you can always build yourself back up. 

Life should never be stale or boring; I believe life should be filled with failures and accomplishments because all these make life fun and exciting.

"It is a new month, try something new"

Criticism should not be taken with too much seriousness but with love. Don't be discouraged but be focused. Am aligned to your write up. Keep it up.

Criticisms always hurt especially when we take them to heart but when we know how to use them to our advantage, it will be good :) I love trying and learning something new :)

I agree, FarmGirl! We should never take it personally; some people only want to see us grow, that is all. We should use their advice to improve ourselves

Many are afraid of criticism all they want is to be applauded. But things don't start that way, we keep learning each day.

I always strive to try something new if Rusty and the rest will like it. Though sometimes it disappoints me, it gives me the idea about what and what not to serve to my audience :)

That strategy is pretty good; trying new things will help you get a sense of what Rusty and others would like; that is wonderful; even if it disappoints you, it still shows you what the audience wants

What an inspirational content! You said it right. It will be a foolish act if we stop after listening people's judgement. Let them do their jobs. We have ours to complete. And yes, congratulations for completing the 200 marks.

All we have to do is to be receptive. Criticisms can become an opportunity for us to better ourselves as an individual.

They say a coward die many times before the battle commence. Fear debars us from utilizing our great potential. Every spirit of fear should depart us this new month IJN

Amen, bro. Fear is our greatest enemy and ally, sometimes it can help us make smart decisions, and sometimes we make bad decisions. It all depends on if you can control it.

Criticism is part of our growth. Without it, we wouldn't know what to improve and develop. Happy New Month Oikawa!
