This week I am talking about why I chose to embrace possible failure instead of taking the known path.
We are so worried about being shamed, judged and made fun of that we often hold ourselves back from trying new things. What if we took back our power and tried new things that weren’t a guaranteed success…how many new things would we try and find out we love? Or try and find out it isn’t for us, but that’s okay…because we at least tried it?
Waiting to do something because we hope for perfection holds us back from so many experiences in life.
A couple of years ago I decided that if something scared me and had a chance of failure or a less than perfect result, I was going to go for it and see what I learned. From it I have discovered that I am resourceful, resilient and I love the feeling of accomplishing something that wasn’t a foregone conclusion of success.
Things I referenced This Week:
A couple of the James Clear articles about Failure :
Why Aiming for Perfection Won’t Help You Achieve Your Goals (jamesclear.com)
Treat Failure Like a Scientist (jamesclear.com)
