Dare, Don't
Be Afraid to Make Mistakes

Don't worry
if you make mistakes. Only people who dare, try, and persevere, complete tasks
and achieve success.
It is so
comfortable to be passive, make no effort, and stick to the familiar. However,
by doing so, we allow external influences shape your life.
Daring,
trying new things, and making changes, seem intimidating. It is more
comfortable to suffer, complain, and stay in the same place.
Why Daring Is Intimidating?
Ø You afraid you might make mistakes.
Ø You are afraid to look ridiculous.
Ø You want to avoid criticism.
Ø There is a lack of self-esteem.
Ø There is a lack of self-confidence.
If you wish
to let the above list intimidate you, and therefore, be unhappy, complain, and
stay where you are, this is your choice. However, if you want to live a greater
life, you should consider taking a step beyond your fears and start daring.
It is not so difficult to do.
It is a
matter of attitude. It is a matter of changing your mindset. As the saying
goes, 'it is all in the mind'.
After the
first step, it would seem less intimating to dare, even if you make mistakes
and bad choices.
All people
who achieved success, any kind of success, dared to try. They did mistakes, and
they failed over and again, but they did not give up.
Where Can You Dare?
This depends
on you. It is advisable to start with minor matters, and as you gain
confidence, do bigger things.
Here are a few suggestions:
·
Start
learning a foreign language.
·
Go meet new
people and friends.
·
Take a trip
abroad.
·
Redecorate
your home.
·
Ask your boss
for a raise.
·
Start going
to the gym.
·
Dare, don't
be Afraid to Make Mistakes.
After gaining
some experience you will feel more confident to dare handle bigger projects,
such as:
Find a better job
Go back to
college or start studying at the University
Make the move
you always wanted, to a new neighborhood, a new city, or a different country
Start a
business
Turn a hobby
into a business
These are
just a few of the things you can dare to do.
If you make
mistakes, it's all right. Everyone make mistakes. Learn from them and go on. As
said earlier, all successful people made mistakes, but they didn't let their mistakes
discourage them or deter them.
It's quite
simple, though not so easy to dare, and be afraid to make mistakes. This has
nothing to do with finance, physical strength or education. It is all a state
of mind. It is something inside you.
You need to find
the strength and courage within you. You should learn to be courageous and
daring, and do things, without the need to be pushed and motivated from the
outside.
You have this
strength within you, you only need to be conscious of it, and strengthen it. Affirmations,
visualization, and inner strength development are the tools to do this.
Learn to be a
doer, by taking the initiative and acting now, without procrastinating or
hesitation. Start with simple little things to gain experience and confidence.
Can you learn

Don't worry
if you make mistakes on the way. By making mistakes, you learn to improve and
do better.
