If You’re Afraid Of Making Mistakes, Watch This.

If you’re afraid of making mistakes, I’m here to help you conquer that fear. Mistakes are a normal part of life. We all fall short from time to time.

Unfortunately, failure is often frowned up, and is associated with feelings of anger and shame. The truth is that the journey towards success is paved with failures that test our ability to rise above disappointment or flounder in self-pity.

It all comes down to your mindset. Research shows that people who adopt a growth mindset are more likely to be able to accept mistakes because they know that they are a key part of the learning process.

If you’re afraid of making mistakes, don’t be. The truth is that if you want to succeed, you need to fail more often, because it is through failure that you learn some of your most valuable lessons in life.

In the words of Tony Robbins, “No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.”

Many people live and act in ways to ensure that they never make mistakes. They don’t take risks or step outside of their comfort zones for fear that they will fail. In doing so, they never take action or look forward.

When I was 17 years old I didn’t think that my life was going anywhere. I was shy, depressed, didn’t have any friends, and would drown my sorrows in video games. I was comfortable living inside of my bubble, and I wasted away my days. This was a big mistake.

It wasn’t until I took the leap, experimented with new things, made mistakes, and did the very things that I thought I could never do, that I was able to become the person that I am today.

In her latest book, Stop Playing Safe: Rethink Risk, Unlock the Power of Courage, Achieve Outstanding Success, Margie Warrell says that, “In today’s competitive and fast changing workplace, we can never hope to achieve success unless we're willing to embrace change and risk the discomfort of failure.”

In truth, failure can be one of your greatest assets, if you allow it to be. Success is merely an experiment that manifests itself through a process of trial and error.

I can’t promise you that everything is always going to work out. Life doesn’t play out that way. It is designed to challenge you so that you can grow into the person you desire to be.

You always have a choice. You can either fall apart and become a victim, or you can rise above and become a victor. You cannot control your external world, but you can control how you choose to respond to it.

The most successful people in the world see mistakes as valuable learning experiences that allow them to become stronger and more successful. They pride themselves on their failures. Take it from Jeff Bezos, the Founder of Amazon – “I've made billions of dollars of failures at Amazon.com. Literally billions of dollars of failures.”

Just because something doesn’t work out like you planned, doesn’t mean that you are a failure. It simply means that you tried something and it didn’t work, and that is OK. If you’re afraid of making mistakes, you won’t grow.

Stay committed and learn from your mistakes. See every setback in life as an opportunity to learn, to grow, and become a better version of yourself.

Thomas Watson Sr., the original Chairman and CEO of IBM, once said, “The fastest way to succeed is to double your failure rate.” Are you making enough mistakes? Experiment more, fail more, and I promise that you will succeed faster.
