Are You Afraid of Failing?
/Fear and failure are parts of life. They are often intertwined. And, they feed into each other. But, fear and failure can’t be avoided. And, they shouldn’t be.
We need to experience both fear and failure so we can learn from our actions and grow. Fear helps us determine the boundaries of our comfort zone, and refusing to feel the fear prevents us from taking risks, learning new things, and moving forward. It prevents us from failing.
But, we need to fail. Failure helps us grow by showing us whether or not what we’re doing is working. It forces us to stop and reflect, change perspectives, redirect energies, try new strategies, develop new skills, and become better. To use what we have learned and eventually succeed.
