Why Do You Always Fail?

Why do you always fail? May balat ka ba sa puwet and everything you touch turns cold instead of gold? Was it because noong umulan ng malas ang langit hindi lang kamay ang ginamit mo at kumuha ka pa ng labador? Was it your attitude that nipped success in the bud ... or was it your mindset that poisoned your business relationship and drove good luck away from your doorstep? 

Failures are part of growing up ... and the learning process ... every time you embark on a new business it is okay to fail twice or thrice, but when failures become a habit and bad luck comes haunting you like a curse instead of abundance and blessings you reap scarcity despite adequate preparation and thorough feasibility studies ... where preliminary exploration is done to determine its merits and viability. If you still experience turbulence and air pockets ... it is high time to say CUT ... and examine yourself?

The first obvious sign that you are treading the avenue to failure is your attitude!

1. Are you a person who refuses accountability for your sins of omission and commission? Are you one person who wrestles with admitting you made a mistake or were wrong? These are ominous signs.

2. Are you a person who quickly blames others for your mistakes and puts responsibility, guilt, and liability on their shoulder?

3. Are you a person who gives up easily? Are you, somebody who raises the white flag of surrender when the going gets tough? Are you somebody who makes his hands up at a mere sign of struggle and indecision?

4. Are you a person whose business acumen is leaning towards one-man rule and its tenets? Autocracy and monarchy perhaps? Or dictatorial? Do you believe you are a one-man band... the only person that can make things happen?

5.  Are you a person who gives ears to others' suggestions? Or is the whole business decision totally your own? Do you resent other points of view and perspective?

6. Are you a person whose pride is high and mighty ... who boasts about his achievements when there is none? Do you always exaggerate your empty successes and devaluate someone you believe is a threat to your throne?

7. Are you a person who believes that when money becomes a problem ... the best option is to borrow money and paying interest for the money you loaned is no big deal as it is just a part and parcel of the whole process?

8. Are you a person who has experience in business? Have you at least undergone business administration training ... or are you that person who was placed in a position that is totally alien to you?

Feeling like a failure can be caused by a variety of factors, including unrealistic expectations, comparing oneself to others, experiencing repeated setbacks and struggles, and low self-esteem. It often stems from negative thoughts, negative perceptions, and self-criticism.

Atychiphobia is a fear of failure. It may cause you to put off or avoid any activity or scenario that has the potential for an unsuccessful outcome.
