Fear of Failure

I've been thinking about this topic for a while.   However after reading an article this morning on the Again Faster site, I realized that I needed to put my fear out there.  https://www.againfaster.com/en/blog/2012/04/13/fear-anonymous/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_term=link&utm_content=fear%2Banonymous&utm_campaign=article

Similar to the author of the article, I've realized that I have a fear of Muscle Ups.  Before I even start the movement I've already pictured me failing.  In my mind I can't get one so in real life I rarely do.  I've made excuses, complained, "attempted" to get better, but have never truely tried to tackle the fear.  I can see the movement being done with perfect form, but it is almost always someone else.  I have taught the muscle up to numerous people and can see flaws that can help them get better.    I've worked on getting stronger at pullups, and dips and handstand pushups.  I've talked about getting better at muscle ups.   It is simply an unrealistic fear that even keeps me from wanting to try.  

In order to get past my fear, I need to take that first step.  I'm guaranteed to fail at everything that I don't try.  In this case it is less about "trying" and more of simply DOING.  I know I will not get every muscle up that I attempt, but I will certainly never get any better without an attempt.  My goal for this week is to get 1 muscle up each day.

I need to put fear in it's proper place and realize that failure isn't something that I need to be afraid of.
