Being too afraid to fail will lead to avoiding risk,
which drastically reduces the number of opportunities available to us. Being
overly concerned about risk stifles creativity and prevents us from realizing
the big successes that might be on the horizon. Risk-aversion essentially
places us in shackles—we can’t move forward, we can’t grow, we can’t live. We
are stuck.
Conversely, failure is freeing. When we fail, what
we’ve dreaded has happened, but we’re still alive (hopefully). Failure opens up
a realm of possibilities for how to move forward—if we have the tenacity to try
again.
