When I was younger, I was so scared of failing that I wouldn't even try something if I wasn't sure I'd be good at it.
That's a very limiting way to live life.
We often tie our self-worth to our success so, when we fail, it seems like our value drops.
Which is very scary.
And also, nonsense.
But still, we believe it and it's why we're afraid to put ourselves out there...
And why we don't want to look like we're trying too hard...
Because what if we try and then we fail?
That would be embarrassing. And shameful. and pathetic. And would probably mean something is wrong with you... because how come everyone else is getting it right but you aren't...?!
Sigh.
We're so horrible to ourselves.
When a child is learning to walk, we expect failure. We don't get upset at a toddler who falls on her bum. We laugh and clap for her because she tried. Then we joyfully encourage her to try again.
A LOT of failing happens on the road to learning ANYTHING.
Failing only means you are learning.
That's all.
So if you applied for the job and didn't get it.
You bravely offered your workshop and the only response was the chirping of crickets.
You have another failed relationship under your belt.
Your child hates you.
You still don't have money.
You find yourself divorced.
You health is failing.
Try to see yourself as a child who is learning.
Laugh and clap for yourself and encourage yourself to get up and try again.
It only means you are learning.
That vicious self-judgement is not going to help you.
it's not making you feel loved and cared for.
You have worth no matter what.
Your value is inherent.
It doesn't rely on whether you fail or succeed.
So, please look at your 'failures' and ask yourself,
"If I loved myself, if I looked at myself as a cherished young child who is learning, what would I say to myself about this now?"
