Fail, do it again. False, because only in this way will it be possible to obtain the necessary learning for the time when it comes time to achieve the success and success you want, there is no other way to learn that through mistakes and successes, or the mistakes and successes of thinking that we are better the less we make mistakes is completely absurd.
What would have happened to Thomas Edison if he had stopped trying the hundredth time his lamps didn’t work?Let’s remember he only made it after 999 failures. He failed several times and, instead of thinking he had no capacity to make mistakes, he realized that all mistakes were responsible for us all now having artificial light in our homes. When he tried for the thousandth time, he made it.
- Look at this exaggeration! How many times have we not heard this phrase.
- Unfortunately.
- Perfectionism is the order of the day in our society and there is no room or patience to develop our most powerful creative mechanism: trial and error.
Since we are very small, we are encouraged and encouraged to compete and always score ten, instead of being congratulated for finding the wrong way, but always having the opportunity to look for a better one, we get punished, and even, on some occasions, we hear judgments like ”Aren’t you for that?, ‘was it always bad in math, wasn’t it your thing?, or’ did you do it wrong the other time , you’ll never learn. ‘
Having said that, it seems exaggerated, because as long as you read this article you are certainly also calm, in a state of peace. But when our patience is on the edge of the abyss, the truth is that for the most part it is very difficult to control this kind of thinking.
Our irrational thoughts are responsible for our suffering when something goes wrong, so much so that they can often cause us to abandon our goals, our plans, and our desires, so we are safe from any new failure that our self can balance. esteem, even a little.
That is why it would be wise for us to learn to be more tolerant of ourselves, to reduce our demands and to set aside the great fantasy of being perfect human beings. Human beings fail! It’s its nature, it’s normal and it has to be.
It’s not written anywhere, except in our own minds, that failure makes us stupid, stupid or anything negative, at the same time, it doesn’t define or value doing things in a very successful way.
Can choose. If your fear of failure is so great that it prevents you from getting up and trying again, in the long run, chances are things will eventually go wrong. Because the idea that it is useless? It will nurture you as you condemn yourself. to her because you are so afraid that you will not be able to achieve any goal.
This way you will be free of any possibility of falling. But you’ll also miss some really interesting things like learning, overcoming or seeing improvements in any activity. In addition, you will find it very difficult to enjoy a reward of great effort.
But be careful! It is not the same that we have this reasonable and mature approach to life, and that we avoid failure for fear of failure if deep down we want to achieve something that is loved by our hearts.
Conformity is an attitude that also comes from fear. To avoid this, take the chance to risk it, be brave!Failure is not a bad thing as we have been made to believe. It’s just an open window to learn and do better. Nothing terrible will happen if you make a mistake and make a mistake, go ahead, do it!
