What if you fail?
Believe it or not, this question is the reason most businesses never get started. For some reason people are scared of failing that they don’t even bother to try. They think that with failure comes public humiliation and somehow people will look down on them.
Do you really care so much of what other people think of you that you are willing to throw away your dream life, do you really?
Technology is moving fast but so far you still get one life. So would you rather live a mediocre life thinking what your life would have been like if you actually went for it. Even if you try and fail you are still better off than then the previous version of yourself where you didn’t try at all.
Unless you are a stuntman where the gig might actually kill you or a long term damage, go for it.
Think of it like this, you are an SUV and as you are driving from Point A to Point B you hit a a pothole but your car is OK. Do you glorify it. Write a book about it. NO. It’s just a bump on road as long as the car is fine you keep on going.
In life you are gonna hit a lot of bumps in the road but you just have to keep pushing forward.
I have never understood this fear of failure because it’s never something rational. You are not scared of the unknown of what could potentially happen in order for you to become the best version of yourself.
You will need to go through some changes, your mindset will need some updates, you will pick up new knowledge sometimes from other people and sometimes from your own mistake. That’s how it is and how it’s supposed to be.
