ANXIETY IS ACCEPTING FAILURE BEFORE TRYING
Accepting Failure is the Problem
Is there a reasonable reason to worry? Worry causes anxiety and may even be the best synonym for such a useless mental activity. Among the many negative aspects of worrying - having anxiety - is that at the root of the issue, anxiety is really accepting failure before ever trying.
Is failure bad or is failing the end of the world? It is neither and is in fact the stepping stone to success. But, the problem with anxiety is that you have accepted failure without determining if you could succeed. Additionally, you have mentally welcomed defeat prior to obtaining the greatest amount of learning from the failure.
Success With an Asterisk
You may still succeed under the weight of an anxiety burdened mind- but with an asterisk - because of the negative emotions and reduced performance that accompanies anxiety.
So........the moral of this story is that worrying accomplishes nothing positive and in reality it has far reaching negative consequences. Don't accept failure until you have made an effort and if you then fail, welcome it and learn from it.
