Sensitive Projectors can sometimes feel an intense fear of failure because, at your core, you want to provide meaningful guidance and have a positive impact. As a Projector, you’re deeply perceptive, so the idea of “failing” doesn't feel good and can be discouraging. However, failure is not a setback; it’s a redirection—a natural part of growth and learning.
The idea of failure may seem overwhelming, especially if you’re naturally sensitive to your environment. But what if failure is simply feedback? Imagine each failure as a gentle guide pointing you towards what’s truly aligned with your nature. Instead of seeing a setback as a reflection of inadequacy, choose to view it as an indicator of what works and what doesn’t for your unique energy.
Projectors are designed to wait for the right invitation. This means that trying to control outcomes or push for success can lead to resistance and burnout. When you accept that failure is just another step on the path, and an opportunity for growth, you open yourself to flow and allow things to align naturally.
Rather than jumping into situations, focus on taking small, intentional steps. Feel into your body and ask yourself:
Does this feel like an invitation I want to accept?
Is this opportunity coming to me naturally, or am I pushing for it?
Use your inner authority to discern whether something feels right. For example, I am a Projector with an Emotional Authority so I need to allow myself to feel the cycle of emotions before making a decision. My design is not an “in the moment” decision maker. If an action or project doesn’t resonate, consider it a learning experience and redirect yourself without judgment. Projectors thrive when they take aligned, purposeful action that respects their energy.
Think of Oprah Winfrey, a fellow Projector, who faced challenges before becoming one of the most respected figures in media. Like Oprah, remember that every setback has the potential to deepen your wisdom and strengthen your journey. Projectors often need to experience challenges before they fully understand how to guide others. Allow these moments to become stories of growth rather than reasons for self-doubt.
Fear of failure can be a heavy burden, but when you transform it into a stepping stone, you honor your path as a Projector and you allow yourself to see that “failure” truly is NOT an option. Trust that each experience, success or “failure,” aligns you with greater understanding and clarity. Your journey is unique, and each step is bringing you closer to your true purpose. When that happens, there is NO failure!
Call to Action
My Mentor's request to you is to sit with this. Review what you have percieved to be failures and ask yourself:
What was the lesson in this experience?
Where did that lesson lead me on my journey?
How did I benefit from the experience?
When you can see the positive possibilities that your percieved failure held, can it really be considered a failure? I think not!
As always, I would love to hear what this held for you so feel free to share your experience with me if you feel so led.
Until Next Time...
