TAKE THAT STEP, TAKE THAT LEAP.

Many people are so afraid of making mistakes that they will go through life without trying new things. They seem to forget that, no one has ever achieved something without making mistakes. It is far better you try something and make mistake than maintaining your perfect state by not trying new things.

Even if you don't gain anything from that experience, at least your mistake will serve as a lesson for others to avoid making the same mistake. Success (or failure) is not the result of mistakes you make or don't make, but rather the result of your response to mistakes.

Some lessons are best learned through direct experience. When you try something, just remember that there can be two outcomes, but you can change what ever the outcome in your favor. Knowing that you are not immune from mistakes and that you are still trying to find a way to succeed like everyone else, then prepare your heart for failure.

If you want to live life to the fullest and enjoy continued success, you must be willing to keep taking risks. Risk is unavoidable, the day you stop taking risks is the day you take more risks, and that is the risk that leads to stagnation. Not taking a risk means risking more than actually risking it, so you need to know what choices you have to make.

The reason some people are afraid of making mistakes is, because they keep bothering about people's opinion. Whether you do good or you do bad, people will have their opinion about you. The same group of people who will talk about your mistakes are the same people who will shame you if you finally become a failure because you didn't try in the first place.

Lastly, you don't have to pretend to be perfect to impress anyone. You have to accept that you have flaws, but just focus on your strengths and work on them. Overcoming your flaws will make you stronger instead of pretending to be yourself. Imagine when the people you're trying to convince with a fake life find out it's all fake, they will lose credibility with you and won't believe your future lawsuits. Therefore, learn to accept what you cannot change in life and use your strengths.

Thank You.
