Is it worse to fail at something or never attempt it in the first place?
We’ve treated failure as if it is something inherently wrong. At least that is what our conditioning has ingrained in us from the time we were old enough to go to school. Failure isn’t a bad thing. In fact, we should welcome failure.
It is better to fail at something than to never have the guts to attempt it at all. The key is to try. If you fail, try again and fail harder. Through failure, we glean crucial lessons about ourselves through the experience. Failure also teaches us to hone our skills.
Fear stops us from ever trying. Limiting beliefs about ourselves and our potential inhibit us from starting that business, running with that bold idea, taking that trip, or doing something that aligns us with our purpose. Allowing this kind of fear controlling you will hinder you from enjoying every drop of this human existence. Never attempting stops you from growing.
Fail. Fail hard, fail often, and then do better. It’s the best way to learn and grow. Fail without remorse, guilt or beating yourself up. Fail and become better at whatever is.
