Don't be afraid of failure
A lot of people avoid doing a lot of things because they're afraid of not doing them well.If you sometimes find yourself immobilized by the fear of failure,try any or all of these suggested antidotes.
1.Don't be so hard on yourself."Failure" is a relative term,depending on who is doing the measuring.A "failure" by Rembrandt might be considered a success if it were painted by someone else.If you want to lose 20 pounds and only manage to lose 15,is that failure?Really?
2.Don't view every situation in black-and-white terms.If you set a goal and pursue it,judge your performance in terms of degrees of success.
3.Don't confuse success with excellence.There is nothing bad or wrong with bowling a mediocre game as long as you enjoy what you're doing.
