Just a side thought, it's probably easier for someone like Justin Bieber to form and hold a belief that he can't fail because because 1) he is actually talented (or so I'm led to believe), 2) he's already had considerable success in his chosen field, and 3) he's a teenaged boy, and most teenaged boys think themselves to be bulletproof, even without any evidence toward that. It's easy to imagine how these factors could come together to form a rock-hard belief that failure is simply not possible.

The fear of failure (i.e., the belief that we might and maybe will fail) is something that the majority of humans struggle with, or simply accept without any consideration or awareness. In fact, most humans adopt the belief in (fear of) failure pretty early on, and that shapes their reality from then on in a self-affirming pattern.
