Become less afraid of failure and allow myself the room to make mistakes

Learn from it

When the result is not what you expected, learn from it. When you get the result you want, learn from that too. Every experience is a wonderful opportunity to learn.

Wisdom comes from learning the difficult lessons which experience teaches. With wisdom comes respect, authority and effectiveness. You pay a hefty price for wisdom, and yet what you get is even more valuable than what you paid.

It is indeed difficult to console yourself to “learning from this” when things fail to go your way. It is much easier to get angry, to get depressed, to complain or even to forget about the whole thing. But when you do that, you end up paying the price without getting any value in return.

Whatever happens, let it increase your wisdom and, ultimately, your success. Whatever happens, get past the concerns of the moment and learn from it.

I once read that all of our negative feelings and thoughts stem from one base emotion: The Fear Of Rejection.

I always thought that I was someone who was not afraid to be my own person—I’ve never really followed a clique, and I’ve always been too open-minded to really fit in anywhere. If you give me one side of the story, I’ll give you the other; it doesn’t matter which side you are presenting to me.

So, why is this such a big deal to me?? Maybe I’m actually just the opposite. Maybe I’m so afraid of committing to an idea, cause, person, job, etc, because I am a severe perfectionist—and if I can’t do something perfectly, than I simply reject it.

I really need to stop giving a damn what other people think of me and just throw myself out there!!
