More Mistakes Lead To Faster Success
Do you constantly keep
yourself away from something because you fear that you will make mistakes? Then
take a good look at children! Have you seen how kids are completely unbridled
when they swing really high?
Have you taken some time off
to see how liberated they feel by this seemingly simple action? They have no
fear of
falling off the swing or getting hurt! All they know is the great fun
of swinging really hard; and even if they do fall, all it takes is one quick
brush off and back to the swing again to have a gala time!
Taking Too Much Caution.
Doesn't it make you want to
feel the same way? But as soon as we step into the world of adulthood, we start
taking too much cautionary steps. What if we were to miss a step? What if we
were to make a mistake? Would we be shunned by society? Would our friends laugh
at us?
These and many more questions
keep cropping up in our mind, and we start fearing mistakes day by day. Each
day that passes, we give up on some dream that had once been a cherished
thought.
But ask yourself: Is it really
worth it? Giving up on your dreams just because you are scared that you will
make some mistakes along the way? Sounds silly, doesn't it?
But the truth is that this is
exactly what may be holding you back from pursuing your dreams! Children are
not scared of making mistakes, because they have not been burdened by all the
wisdom that adulthood brings with it. So they can just get away saying "I
don't care!", but you obviously can't do the same as an adult!
But how about changing your
perspective just a little bit? When you are too scared to take on something
because of the fear of making mistakes, just ask yourself, "What is the
worst that can happen if I go wrong?"
Scared of Disappointments.
Chances are that the answer
will not be as intimidating as you make it out to be! Most of the times, you
may just be scared of the disappointment that failure brings with it.
But unless you give it a shot,
you will not know what your chances of success are. If you do make some
mistakes, you have to learn from them and move on. That's how failures may even
be treated as blessings in disguise!
Unless you make errors along
the path of life, there will be no chances of you learning. You will never know
how to take risks and enjoy the thrills and adventures of life.
Many famous people experienced
multiple failures and made some horrible mistakes before they have succeeded or
reached their desired position. Here's an example...
Did you know that airline mogul
Richard Branson lost many million dollars because his endeavour to sell
financial services products or cola variant failed? He lost loads of money, but
did not allow himself to get bogged down; instead he learnt from his mistakes
and went on to became a living legend. Today, he makes so much money that he
can even rent a whole private island just for one night for a very pricely sum!
That's exactly what happens
when you take the correct lessons from the mistakes you make and make
meaningful changes to your life. If you really decide to learn from your
mistakes, you would see that those mistakes (or rather disappointments) that
you were so scared of committing weren't too big a deal! In fact, each mistake
that you make will take you one step closer to achieving something worthwhile.
