Fail as much as you can in your life. That's the most fun there is.
Most fun? Well, it's not very fun, but every week I fail at least once. Usually at sports, sometimes during work and very occasionally during conversations with my wife.
And then there are plenty of other contexts in which I occasionally fail.
I fail more than I experience success.
Gelukkig!
Fear of failure
Look, success is nice you know, but also very fleeting. If I achieve that then...
Then you feel too crazy for a moment and there's already the next one. And so you go on and on.
I love that too. Creating, performing, putting something down, achieving something, winning and getting stronger. But once that's achieved, that's great, but then that's over in a flash. I fail much more often than I win.
Just yesterday during the workout. Failed, failed, but got stronger. Made progression though. So you could say I did make it....
Hmmm...
Every time you fail, you still make some kind of progression. You get a little further each time. So fear of failure should really be called the fear of moving forward, and that already sounds a lot stranger. Because wouldn't you want to get ahead?
Some people don't, but that's much more frightening. In nature, it's very simple, either you grow or you die. Then people with fear of failure would fear growth more than death. Also crazy.
That's often not how these people see it, but when you think about it, that's what's going on. A baby trying to walk very often fails. But it does make progress. His muscles get stronger, balance gets better and so at some point he can take his first step.
And then he fails again when he tries to run....
Failure is so delicious. What will you delightfully fail at today?
