Most probably, you rarely do everything that you can to maximize your chances of success in the situations then you find yourself in. If that is the case, then you only have yourself to blame for not seeing the success that you desire.
So, what is the biggest thing that is currently holding you back from going all out and playing to win? Your answer is most likely the same as the answer given by the vast majority of people, or at least a variation on it, which is fear of failure.
This fear is literally stealing opportunities from you. Opportunities will always continue to present themselves, but whilst you keep on holding back, you will never be able to fully seize them. Even a slight fear of failure is sufficient enough, as not giving everything you have puts you at a serious disadvantage.
In the moment that you submit to your fear of failure, your fortune has been 100% sealed. You have no chance of winning because you never even gave yourself the option of playing.
The thing is, by getting involved, you nearly always have a chance of winning, even if it is a small one. You might be the underdog, but how many times have you seen the underdog beat the favorite before? Life is unpredictable, and the underdogs regularly have their days.
The often cited phrase “Aim for the moon, at least if you miss you will be among the stars” is more than just a cliche. Keep it mind always, because there is a lot of truth in it.
By chasing the big opportunities that arise, you will be pushing yourself to be the best that you can possibly can be, and by doing that you will be in a better position in failing than you would in if you had done nothing at all. You might not always get exactly what you were aiming for, but the second and third prizes are often worthwhile.
By adopting this approach, your self-confidence will significantly increase and so will the confidence and belief that others have in you. A combination of those two things puts you in a better position than you are in now.
