The last couple months have been rough. Have you ever had a monthly theme just kind of repeat itself over and over and over at you? So much so that you finally have to look up and say, “Okay! I get it! All right!” Lately, for me, that theme is “don’t be afraid, be willing to fail.” I do it all the time. Fail. Yeah, I’m not afraid to say it.
Everybody fails. So many people worry about it relentlessly. “What if I mess up?” “What if I don’t get it right?” I think the bigger question is, “What if you don’t try?” We are always trying out something new, it can be scary to change things up, but I think I am more afraid of not doing whatever it is, or not anything at all.
Another View of Failure
I forget who said to try to think of failure as “an outcome you didn’t expect or want.” Whoever it was, I think they’re right! It’s very freeing to consider it that way. Instead of “Oh wow, you suck! You’re terrible! You’ll NEVER make it,” this kind of mindset is, “Huh, well, that’s not what I wanted to see happen. What do I do next?” It’s a lesson. A stepping stone. Don’t let it be the end.
Enjoy the fun of failure.
Accept failure or mistakes as an important part of a process. It’s okay if something fails. In fact, it’s fun, because it can lead you up different paths. Just don’t let the process scare you into not trying or stopping before you’re done.
