Make A Mistake - Change Your Life

Try something. Make a mistake. Mistakes provide information. Information will help you to do better when you try again.

If you fear mistakes, you won't let yourself try. When you don't try, you don't learn. When you don't learn, you don't get very far. Fear wins out. Opportunities pass you by.

Give yourself permission to make a mistake, to make a bunch of mistakes, to goof up, to fall on your face, to suck, to look stupid, to endure rejection and even ridicule. Mistakes are painful, but they are also powerful. Inaction is paralyzing. We don't get anywhere by standing still.
