Fantastic article Jon. It’s not like the usual ‘fail fast’ article where people advise to almost fail on purpose, like you know it’s going to happen and it has no effect. These are mistakes that get to you, that evoke anxiety and feelings and all that uncomfortable stuff. The things that hurt.

But! They are caused by believing in something, and being brave enough to give yourself to something completely. It’s more of a choice: choose to never make ‘mistakes’ and you’ll never know the value of truly giving yourself to something or someone, thus never experiencing it.

And honestly: that’s missing out on a lot of fun.
