When you are about to step out of your comfort zone a
question pops in your head: “What if I fail?”
This question has kept many capable people from achieving
their dreams. They were afraid whether if they will fail or not, they were
asking themselves what their friends will think about them if they will fail,
what their family will say if they would not succeed, or at least don’t succeed
apparently.
I don’t know why, but many people think that failing at
something is a crime which must be punished.
But is not like that. Failing is absolutely normal if you
want to learn something new. Most of the times when you will try out something
new you will fail and failing you will become more and more experienced.
Failing is a step in the learning process! If you like to develop your skills
in something like doing business don’t be afraid to fail: if you are afraid to
fail, you are keeping yourself from learning.
Just take this example: when you were a baby and learnt to
walk, wouldn’t you fall down? But what if, after falling the first time, you
wouldn’t try to walk again, or if you will never want to learn to walk because you
were afraid of falling down. Or when you learnt to ride the bicycle, didn’t you
fell down over and over again until you learnt how to ride it properly?
The same principle is applied in personal development. If
you are afraid of failing, you won’t get anywhere at all.
Failing
is a natural step of the learning process. So, there is no question like “What
if I fail”: you will fail. Is the natural process to becoming successful.
If you want to read more about
learning from failing and being successful in business, read Robert Kiyosaki’s book
Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Is an excellent
book about his life is business. Check it out here:
