“The greatest mistake we make is living in the constant fear that we make one “ John. C. Maxwell
They say failure is the stepping stone to success….yet we are afraid to fail, aren’t we? We are hopeful that all our endeavors culminate in success. Many skip an opportunity if they are unsure of a positive outcome.
If we learn from our mistakes, then why are we always so wary not to make one?
“Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, be afraid of not learning from them”.
Looking back, I believe that all through our childhood we were conditioned to do everything right. Failure was looked down upon at school and among friends. People would be chided or belittled for going wrong, not to mention the tirade that followed, “It’s your fault”, “You can never get anything right”, “I told you so”….the list of such degrading comments never ceased.
Acceptance for failure is never total. I guess that is primarily the reason we still shun any form of failure!
“People often avoid making decisions out of the fear of making a mistake. Actually the failure to make decisions is one of life’s biggest mistakes”. Noah Winberg
Would love to know your opinion on this.
