Fear of Failure

I heard on the radio this morning that a new study came out indicating that left handed people (I'm a Southpaw!) are more apt to be affected by fear than right-handers.  I found it interesting when I began to consider the way each of us are programed based on body chemistry and genes.  I'm not interested in a nature vs. nurture discussion, but it is something interesting to ponder.  Perhaps my fear of failure is much more ingrained genetically than I could have anticipated.  If that's the case, I should prepare to tell myself that some of my fears are irrational and to get on with it!  No more procrastination! No more fear!

As Sven Goran Eriksson said:

"The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure."
