You need to fall in love with failure
The fear to fail keeps us from doing the things we love the most. We care so deeply that we don’t want to mess up. It hurts less to not do than to do and fail. So why even bother with trying?
When we stop dreaming, we stop doing. We just let life happen to us. We take no actions to toward anything. We become our worst enemy. But what if we fall in love with failure. What if we embrace failure as part of life, a rather essential part of our lives. What would happen?
You will hit publish on that blog post, you will ask that girl/guy on a date, you will ask her/him to marry you. You will be free.
When we aren’t afraid of failing, we change our perspective on life. We do more of what make us happy regardless of how successful we will (or won’t) be. We have more fun. We are, in fact, living our lives. Purposely.
