If you’re looking for a new job, you’ll likely be competing against other candidates with comparable experiences and accomplishments. In most cases, the offer will go to the person who seems to be the best fit with the organization’s chemistry, if you’re happily employed, your ability to reign in your emotions and respond appropriately to events will be as important to your long-term success as your technical skills and knowledge perhaps even more so.
Self-confidence is the trait of envisioning victory from situations where others see only defeat, to find promise where others find grounds for pessimism, to see opportunity where others see obstacles. James B. Arkebauer, Ultrapreneuring. Taking a venture from start up to harvest in three years or less.
You cannot manage the world, and you cannot change the people around you. The only things over which you have immediate control are your own thoughts and emotions. Spend time every day to understand the reason you think and feel the way you do, and consciously mold your thought and emotions in a positive direction.
Winston Churchill once said that we first shape our buildings, then our buildings shape us. How much more, so with our thoughts and emotions. Pay attention to your thinking, your moods and your attitudes, because they are inexorably making you into the person that you are to become. You aren’t your thoughts, emotions and attitudes to become the person you want to be, figure out the ways you need to think and feel in order to be a success then consciously manages your mental processes to think and feel just that way.
As far as I’m concerned, people who think they fear failure have got it wrong. They really fear success. If you truly feared failure, you’d be very successful. People who truly fear anything stay as far away from it as possible.
