Second Chance to Live

Empowering the Individual, Not the Brain Injury

Overcoming a Fear of Failure Video Presentation

February 17, 2015 By Second Chance to Live

Hello and welcome back to Second Chance to Live my friend. I am happy to have you around my table. Recently I wrote and published, Overcoming a Fear of Failure. In today’s article I am introducing the article in video presentation format. I create video presentations of my articles to offer the information to individuals who learn through watching and listening. Below is a brief excerpt from the article:

“In yesterday’s article Don’t Give Up — Your Life Matters! I encouraged my readers to continue on their journey, to build upon milestones and successes; and to not give up because your life matters. In today’s article, I would like to share some thing with you that has helped and continues to help me. In my experience, I discovered that I had a fear of failure for various reasons. In my experience and through my recovery process I discovered that there were various factors (balls) that contributed to and kept me tethered to a fear of failure.

What I discovered gave me the ability to progressively let go of the ball (s) that kept me tethered to the fear of failure. 

I discovered that perfectionism was at the root of what kept me tethered to a fear of failure. Through my recovery process, I discovered that various factors held me hostage to the belief that I needed to be perfect. I discovered that, as a result; I strove all the more to be perfect for various reasons. I discovered what fueled my need to be perfect, the belief that my best efforts were inadequate. Nevertheless, I strove all the more; only to again find that the proverbial bar of expectation had been either raised or moved. The impact of the bar repeatedly being moved and / or raised left me feeling shamed and discouraged for not being enough.

In response, I became angry and frustrated. I turned that anger and frustration in ward. In response, I experienced ongoing chronic depression.”

The Importance of Spirit, Soul and Emotions in Brain Injury Recovery

“Sunrise over the ocean viewed from inside a wooden boat with a steering wheel. Title reads ‘The Importance of Spirit, Soul and Emotions in Ongoing Brain Injury Recovery.’ A glowing head silhouette with a heart and brain network highlights qualities such as awareness, trust, discernment, healing, wholeness, resilience, integration, and meaning. Signs read ‘Mind,’ ‘Body,’ and ‘Spirit, Soul and Emotions.’ A stone reads ‘Not driven by fear. Guided by discernment. Living in wholeness.’ The image includes the Second Chance to Live Trauma-Informed Care AI Collaboration Model™ and the name Craig J. Phillips MRC, BA.”

Illustration titled, "What happens when support systems encounter human complexity that they do not readily understand, integrate, or support?" On the left, a colorful human face and interconnected threads represent ambiguity, vulnerability, emotion, layered meaning, non-linear communication, relational complexity, and correction. On the right, a structured blue-toned environment shows a brain, professionals, and symbols for manageability, coherence, speed, stabilization, completion, and procedural efficiency. A bridge and puzzle piece connect the two sides, symbolizing the encounter between human complexity and support systems. The image includes Craig J. Phillips, MRC, BA, Second Chance to Live, and The Second Chance to Live Trauma-Informed Care AI Collaboration Model™.
