We are conditioned by fear and loss aversion to avoid situations where we might make a mistake (i.e. learn). Many look to experts to guide their every move, failing to realize those people became experts through their own willingness to experience a failure and learn from it.
The next time you think you can't learn something, just try. Start small. Make mistakes. Learn. The best educators don't want to be your crutch, but they want to see you join them on a journey of discovery.
Ask any expert or successful person and they will usually have many, many stories of failure and what they learned from it. The key is, don't make the same mistakes twice.

Meta Thought
What do you think of short-form content like this? I share it on Facebook or Twitter often, but sometimes don't post it on Steemit also. That's probably silly.
Random Thought
How valuable are "How are you today?" chats on steemit.chat and discord? I get maybe 5 or so a day with people who (mostly) genuinely want to build relationship with me. Others are just looking for upvotes. I usually reply with a link to this post because I don't spend my time in chats like that. This morning I was also thinking about how the real relationships I want to build don't spend much time on small talk. They share big, world-changing ideas with passion. That's where they spend their time.
You very right @lukestokes. When we fear to make miatakes, we never learn. I was brought up in a society where failure is a stigma, when you fail, you are judge as a dull kid. It really affected my growing up, cos for fear of failing making a mistake, i will never dare to try. But that changed when i grew older and understood that when i make mistakes, i get better trying again. I made mistakes building my career, cost me my first job(as a result of the stigma that comes with making mistakes in my society). I almost gave up for fear.
Am glad i did not allow fear rule. Today i am doing very well in my career and a role model to many. My mistakes taught me better, i am more safety oriented than most of my colleagues.
I take safety classes in my company and one thing i do teach is,
""never be scared to make mistakes, but always be quick to correct them. Learn from them and make them build you to become better"
Well, short content, i would say is good. The only thing i fear, is if it wont be abused....like post some 2-3 words content.
Interesting motivating content @lukestoke. Really liked it.

I was mostly raised by "older" people; my parents were near 40 when I was born and many of their friends would more naturally have been the age of grandparents. But that also meant I grew up around a lot of wisdom.
There was a retired friend of my fathers who taught me the game of golf as a teenager, but he also talked a lot about life... and your post reminded me of something he often used to say:
"He who hasn't made a mistake, usually hasn't made ANYthing."
As a kid, it sounded sort of odd to me, but with the hindsight of years, it has come to be quite meaningful.
Of course, then there's the popular business myth (which I have never been able to verify) that the popular cleaner "Formula 409" is thus named because the previous 408 didn't do as well as the developers were hoping for. Yeah, that one is more of a flip joke... but still illustrates the point.
I value them, oddly enough. For the past 60 days or so, I have tossed in a @zappl post every 8-10 posts or so-- and the level of engagement has been impressive; sometimes garnering upwards of 100 comments. I think they can be excellent conversation/discussion starters if formed as a question, and we take a little time to specifically shape them for engagement. Which, of course, is my particular passion with Steemit.
Short form also invites a new audience that might otherwise give our long form content the TL;DR rejection.
Meaningful connections and relationship building IS the backbone of social content platforms... we're both "career" bloggers; I know for me it's the long comments with "meat on their bones" that make the effort worthwhile, not the "nice post, please vote me's"
Steemit is sort of unique in that every one of the 400-some people I follow have something interesting to offer... and yet it's almost impossible for me to keep up with them. By comparison, following 400 people on Facebook barely makes a blip in my morning. Which tells me this place has a certain magic and potential to truly change the world that we just haven't seen before.

Not being afraid to fail is a vote of confidence in yourself because it says that you believe in your inherent worth and potential. Come what may, up market, down market, you believe you have substance. You are a hodler in yourself.
People who are afraid to fail don't have a belief in their inherent value. They believe what they have been able to collect is maybe all the value their lives have and that they may not be able to make more of it.
I struggle with this. I have not made a post yet because I don't feel like I have anything of value to offer. I've wanted to start a business, but the money I've saved was so hard earned that I don't see myself being and therefore creating enough value to ever recoop it, let alone be successful.
I've tried to change this or go against my nature, but it's not just a question of fear. It's a question of feeling insubstantial and hollow.
I like the short form sometimes. It's more subjectively interactive than a story or news article which are valuable but invite a 'good story' or debate type response.

Exactly! We have to fail in order to succeed. Because with each fail, you learn from the experience what doesn't work and how to fix it.

The big key for me is learning from each failure and extrapolating that out to every other permutation to recognize lessons learned in the future without more unnecessary failure. Previous failures teach me lessons about new things I haven't yet encountered (along with understanding the failures of others).

On short posts like this - I like them. I mean if the short posts can state out all the important stuff you wanted to say, then it can still be consideres as a good post. If you nail your topic with a fewer words that means people get you and your words got to people.
On building a relationships - I agree. Small talk isn't the way to go and it often doesn't lead nowhere. Of course people are different, but I have noticed that if you click with someone, you don't need small talk like "How was today?" You just barge in and say "Yo man, I had the craziest day" or something and the topic keeps evolving by itself.^^

Fear of Failure is actually another facet of the primary fear, which is fear of death, of annihilation, of the end of bloodline and species. It's our forgetting that we are immortal and infinite in our essence. Fear of failure comes with the package at the time of birth, but can be transcended, at least most of it, by doing exactly what you said- taking small steps to the very direction where the fear does not want you to go.

Very well put, Luke. I just have to add my favorite text on self-reliance:
"Everyone in the world is governed by self-interest. People naturally think first of themselves and their agendas. An occasional affectionate or helpful gesture from people you know tends to cloud this reality and make you expect more of this support—until you are disappointed, again and again. You are more alone than you imagine. This should not be a source of fear but of freedom. When you prove to yourself that you can get things on your own, then you experience a sense of liberation. You are no longer waiting for people to do this or that for you (a frustrating and infuriating experience). You have confidence that you can manage any adverse situation on your own.
Think of it this way: Dependancy is a habbit that is so easy to acquire. We live in a culture that offers you all kinds of crutches. Experts to turn to, drugs to cure any psychological unease, mild pleasures to help pass or kill time, jobs to keep you just above water, it is hard to resist. But once you give in, it is like a prison you enter that you cannot ever leave. You continually look outward for help and this severly limits your options and manoeuverability. When the time comes, as it inevitably does, when you must make an important decision, you have nothing inside of yourself to depend on." -Robert Greene

Great quote. Thanks for sharing. Many people think an individualist approach is somehow separate from our connected humanity but I see it as taking care of yourself first so that you can then be in a position of strength to help many others who have no expectation of rescue but may also be in a situation with literally no capacity at the time to help themselves. That's where those who've done the hard work can help others help themselves.

When you attempt doing something there is always a possibility to make mistakes and even fail, but that's perfectly fine as far as you learn from your mistake. Experimenting by yourself without expert guidance will teach you much more than falling back on someone all the time.

@lukestokes - I agree. As I have learnt from my short experience on Steemit, making mistakes taught me a lot of things. I was very aggressive in promoting my posts but then I learn that people respond better only by providing quality feedback and after a good discussion. I, of course, never only posted my links and my feedback was always genuine but I learnt that combining them was also a bad idea.
However, as you have rightly pointed out, I was never afraid to try things, make mistakes and learn from them. So, I believe I have made progress. :)
I believe same applies to life as well.

There is a profound relationship between experimentation and learning. I have never been successful at imitation. I prefer "mistakism" - the art of making mistakes and refining your approach due to the consequences. I am eternally bored by thinkers and artists who are too precious with their public image to take significant risk. Artists who are like "blue chip stock" dont hold the same appeal as those who allow their passion for life to drive them into unknown territory.

This is the truth @lukestokes. Sometimes our egos are just blocking us to go further instead of learning new things to improve our life. It's a good reminder for me all the time. :) Thank you!

For myself I've always found mistakes and failure to be the greatest teachers. Of course, they are also the toughest, but aren't all good teachers tough?

So true, making mistakes helps us learn and grow. No one who ever achieved great success did not fail along the way... Great post!

Another way to formulate this would be to say that if you are seeking to avoid loss (failure) you will approach everything in life differently. I just wrote a post about the behavioral science concept of promotion versus prevention mindsets. I think it speaks to what you are saying here.
Here it is, in case you are interested. I really think its relevant though.

The purpose of each person is different and you can not judge what is really serious and which only pretend but you can see it with the sincerity that is within you, but I am very interested in your wise thoughts.
Make me understand more about life experience
Thank you so much Mr @lukestokes,
