Hi friends of WEEKENDEXPEEIENCES! ❤️
Reading the topics for this weekend, there is one in particular that caught my attention and that is why I have decided to write my opinion about it:
Do you fear failing or see each failure as an opportunity to adjust, learn and begin again with a better chance of success? Explain with examples. Use your own photos.
Both positions represent two very different ways of facing life's challenges. Personally, I think I always carry that insecurity with me. When I face challenges, I get negative. I'm very afraid of failure, but that's where we have to think things through very carefully, fight to achieve them, and face every problem that comes our way. Even if I'm afraid, in most cases I take risks. For me, the feeling of frustration of knowing whether I could or couldn't achieve it is stronger than the fear of failure.
After all, that's what life is all about: trying to find out if you're going to succeed or fail. If not, how will you know if you'll succeed? Of course, there are many times when I don't try because I'm afraid, but just as there are those times, I also have many times when, despite the fact that I'm afraid of failure, I take the risk and try. Then I reflect on what I've experienced at that moment and try to find the positive side.
One of the examples that I can give you in my personal case of fear of failure, is the great number of times that I have tried to start some kind of business, without being able to meet the expectations that I have set for myself and there is one in particular that he insisted on all my life:
I really like sewing and I have tried to start this business almost since I can remember and I simply have not succeeded, but even so I have not given up and I always continue with my efforts to achieve at least a little success in this area, it is not easy to start a business from scratch, for this you need experience, investment, publicity and above all a lot of knowledge about what you want to undertake.
Sewing for me is a passion, but sadly I have not had that leap to success like many have achieved, but each failure has helped me improve in this field, I have searched for more information to learn more every day, I have also looked for ways to study and know a lot about this subject, maybe it is not my time yet but I carry the positivism that one day I will achieve it even if it is when I am very old, ha ha, the positive side of this is that I have managed to make a large number of clothes for myself, for my family and for those people close to my circle of friends, especially today I have managed to make better quality clothes and the people I have done work for have been satisfied with what I have achieved, that means that despite my fear of failing I have somehow had great success in knowledge.
Another example of my fear of failure that I can give you is my participation here on the Hive platform. We always bring to the public that fear of failing in some way, either because we don't like the content we publish or because we don't receive what we all want, such as the big votes. To everyone who starts on this platform, I say: it's worth insisting and persisting, and as with everything, it will always be difficult at the beginning.
I've been sharing for 3 years and, as with everything, it was very difficult at the beginning. When I made my first posts, it was too frustrating to see how hard I tried to create posts trying to make them of quality and I simply wouldn't follow the gaze of those who often fill us with motivation to continue and still continue and keep publishing.
For me, this represents a great motivation to know that I don't fail and that my work is liked. This makes me feel that I am capable of achieving many things and gives me reasons that keep me fighting day after day to make myself known on this beautiful platform, show my work and increase my self-esteem.
Friends, let's learn from our failures and take that positive side and take it as an opportunity, so:
We must learn from all the mistakes we make, this will help us have an opportunity to know what our weaknesses and abilities are.
It helps us face challenges in a more positive way and thus we strengthen our ability to overcome all those tests that are presented to us.
When we fail in some way we stimulate the search for new solutions and we focus more on achieving our goals.
The best of all is that we increase our confidence and self-esteem when we overcome challenges.
My advice: Even if you have a huge fear of failure, you should try or you will always be left with the uncertainty of knowing if you will achieve what you set out to do, after all that is what life is about or else why would we be alive!
