Morning, bitches! Remember, the reason you are anxious is that you were taught that trying and failing was the worst thing that could happen, and you exist in a world awash in choices. Trying, failing and being comfortable with failure is the most important skill in this life.
Absolutely. I’ve always loved the Samuel Beckett quote from Wostward Ho. Ever tried, Ever failed, No matter. Try again, Fail again, Fail better.
I don’t consider it failure to try, find you have neither interest nor talent to continue the endeavor, and move on to something else. Each time we deviate from our path to try something new teaches us something. Willingness to step off the path into the unknown is an act of courage itself.
