The Shift

In life different shifts are encountered as part of the process of life. This blog will be reviewing two kinds of shifts that are experienced. One kind of shift experienced is the shift into the unknown. The other is a shift into an area where failure had been experienced previously. Both these have a tremendous impact on a persons life and confidence levels.

Life in general is filled with unexpected turns that leaves individuals discombobulated. It is these unexpected turns that society often refers to as the cause of discouragement and fear of failure. These unfamiliar curves of life often moves a person mentally, emotionally and sometimes physically from what is familiar and comfortable into a state of discomfort and leave them feeling insecure.

This discomfort is caused by the fear of the unknown that every person experiences when encountering the unknown. These fears are to be expected when any new venture is taken on or encountered. These new curves of life often leaves individuals contemplating on the possibility of failure. These thoughts on failure can either spur a person on towards the new challenge at hand or could cause them to back down and not stand up to the challenge.

The second shift that a person's likely to encountered in the process of life is the shift into an area where failure had been experienced. Somewhere along the cause of life one encounters situations where failure had been experienced be it in marriage, family issues, studies or a job change that had previously had gone wrong. It almost seems as if life gives one a second chance at these areas where failure had been experienced.

The problem experienced with this second paradigm shift is that often one had not dealt with the failures previously experienced. Many times people move on but never deal with failures or problems encountered in the course of life. When these sudden shifts redirects them back into the direction of the areas where failure had been experienced the fear becomes greater than that of facing the unknown. Taking charge of areas where failure had been encountered becomes much greater than taking charge of situations where the unknown is encountered.

One of the main reason for the timidness when facing situations where failure had been experienced is the fact that the failure had not been dealt with. Not dealing with the failure and the fear of it in that given area where they have failed leaves people vulnerable and unprepared to face those situations second time around. They are caught with their hands behind their back.

Previous failure can blind a person from the opportunity within the shift that has taken place. It is almost as if previous failure blind folds a person and leaves them clueless about the endless opportunity presented by the shift. In some instances it could lead individuals to reject life altering opportunities for they had not dealt with those failures.

In order to over come past failures and avoid the tremendous fault of allowing it to stand in the way of present day success it has to be dealt with head on. Sometimes dusting of the dust of failure might be easier said than done but dealing with it will be worth it in the long run.

To many people leave past failures without dealing with it and in the long run it catches up to them and it has a negative affect on their present day. Deal with past mistakes, mishaps and disappointments this way when the shift of life come it does not catch you unprepared.
