Becoming Better

How many times have you fallen in life?  If you are anything like me I know it’s happened a lot.  I honestly don’t know how many times I’ve screwed up at stuff.

While I’m still not comfortable with it, I’m definitely more at peace with it.  I used to hate messing up, so much so that it would keep me feeling defeated for days, I would get angry and upset.

I’ve learned that it’s not worth it to kick yourself too hard over such issues.  Failing is a part of life, it’s not a final life sentence on you, it’s not an end all decision.  It just means whatever you are doing didn’t work, and that you just need to try a different way.

Think of failing like a list of check boxes, each time you fail, you are checking off one more box of something you shouldn’t try, and narrowing down what you should try.

So don’t be afraid of failure, don’t let the idea of it keep you from venturing out into new things.  You’ve got this, if you fail so what!  It’s inevitable.  Just get back up.
