Why Are you afraid to fail?
Our society today is so driven towards success. You can be fooled into believing that if you fail at something that you are somehow substandard, and a failure for all time.
Well this could not be further from the truth! Failure is how you learn! Do you remember when you were small? Well the chances are, like me and most people, you failed quite a few times while learning to walk.
Can you imagine if your parents decided to stop you from walking just because you failed a couple of times? Perhaps you would never have learned to walk at all?
Thankfully for most of us this is not the case. When we are children it is expected that mistakes will be made and that is part of the learning process.
Where the Fear of Failure Begins.
However, as we get older, mistakes become frowned upon by society and our peers. We become embarrassed by even the smallest mistake. So much so, that it can stop us in our tracks and prevent us from learning or trying something new or different.
Failure’s Best Kept Secret.
Well I am here to let you in on Failure’s Best Kept Secret,” Mistakes are part of life.” So don’t be afraid to fail, and fail and fail, until you get it right. Failure is just Feedback, it simply informs you that you may need to try a different way, and keep trying new ways and until you get it right.
This goes for all aspects of life, whether trying to improve your tennis game, learn a new skill, or pass your driving test. So keep on keeping on, and remember that Failure is not the falling down but the staying down! So pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep trying until you, Triumph!!
From now on don’t be afraid to fail! Fail faster, so you can learn quicker and whip failure’s butt;-)
To your success,
