I was recently having a conversation with someone:
Person: I have learned that when you feel you can’t do something, you should try and switch that thought with how you must at least try.
Me: I think that’s a great perspective
Person: It is all about your state of mind. The vibes you give out in the world, are exactly the ones that come back at you.
Me: * that makes total sense *
This conversation got me pondering over my own actions. Am I scared of trying new things? Do I fear entering the unknown? I would like to believe that I do not. In fact, whenever an opportunity has presented itself, I have never ever thought, “what if I fail?”. I work with logic and economics. I am not an over-thinker and am quite decisive.
If something seems fun and attracts my attention (even if it is challenging), I jump in blind. Once something appeals to me, I straight away say, "Yes!". I do not have the fear of judgement or of failing. Neither do I have the fear of trying something new as long as it is within the parameters of my principles and personality.
While I don't care about anyone's opinions when it comes to my personal life, there is also nothing in my life thus far that I look back on and think, “oh! I failed at it.” Everything I do, I take it as an experience. I have come to realize that knowing-or-unknowingly, I enjoy collecting varied experiences, and challenges. I have one life, so why fear failure?
I put the fear of failure to rest a long time ago. I realized that even if I fail, I'll still learn and be better the next time.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great perspective! Something I have struggled with!
ReplyDeleteI am working on a post about fear. And why it seems to consuming people irrationally these days. Especially Americans who seem to be afraid of their own shadows.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your denim jacket. I agree, what you put out to the world, comes back over and over, so you might as well make it good!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great post! I don't know why but I have always been that person who takes ridiculous yet logical risks and feel that it has made me such a strong person because of it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI agree - take what happens as an experience, no matter what. Great post, and I really love your outfit!
ReplyDeleteNot a bad idea actually. However,the outfits you wearing look lovely too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great perspective to have. I do try not to fear failure but I think it is human nature to fear it a little sometimes.
