 | Why Fear Makes Things WorseEver notice how the thing you dread most somehow ends up happening? Like the universe is just waiting for you to worry about it enough before making it real. Here’s the truth, fear isn’t just an emotion, it’s an invitation. The more you fixate on something going wrong, the more likely you are to hesitate, make mistakes, or overcorrect, setting the perfect stage for disaster. |
The fear of failure makes you second-guess. The fear of embarrassment makes you stumble. The fear of messing up ensures you do just that.
Here’s the Move: Fear is passive, confidence is active. If you focus on doing the right thing instead of avoiding the wrong thing, you break Murphy’s cycle. Prepare, stay decisive, and trust yourself—because confidence repels failure.
Why bother? Because letting fear run your mind is the fastest way to lose control. Flip the mindset, take control, and Murphy’s Law won’t own you.
