Fear of failure
We are taught from a young age that failure is bad and something to fear. But, failure is an excellent stepping stone to success.
We never learn to move out of our comfort zone if we don’t overcome our fear of failure.
Routine failing
It means you are actually active, doing something, moving forward.
We limit ourselves, and we impede our ability to make big things happen when we buy into what society says will work or not work.
We must take a leap, take calculated risks, and be patient for the results. We don’t need to have everything worked out beforehand.
How to move past the regret of failure
Tune in to your intuition and gut and stay away from your fears. When you know it is the right decision for you, you must never, ever give up.
Tune in to why it is important to stay motivated and surround yourself with like-minded people who can support and help pick you up when you fall.
