The difference between not being wrong and being right

 Most people are adept at failure. They are good at experimenting with new things (when their drawbacks are limited). They are adept at pushing themselves to the limit (when others do not see them and they fail). They are adept at taking positions (when many are ahead of them).

To be fair, I do not absolve myself of all that. The problem arises when the importance of your daily life is devoted to "failure" at the expense of "success". Every  time you choose to avoid failure, you train yourself not to take risks,  so you miss the opportunities you desire to be in the safety circle. As you volunteer yourself to make fear of failure leads you to make your decisions.

If you are leaning towards a position that ensures you do not fail, it  will be hard for you to succeed because you have trained yourself to  prefer a "not wrong" decision at the cost of choosing a difficult  "right" decision.

Before  I tell you how to begin, I would like to inform you that I have  researched and collected scientifically supported ways to adhere to good  habits and avoid procrastination. If you want to see some of my thoughts, you can download my free guide on "changing your habits" available online.

Learn to walk again

I would like you to read this beautiful quote from Richard Solman,  the famous architect and designer, to have a clearer picture of what I  mean:

Once, as a child, I saw a man sitting in a wheelchair. My  mother told me that this man had an accident and is now trying to  recover from his injuries, but he needs to learn to walk again. It was amazing to me, because I thought that someone who learned to walk once would know how to walk all his life! The  idea of ​​learning to walk again was suspended in my imagination and I  began to meditate on how to teach someone to walk again. I realized that this process requires pushing the foot forward so that the person does not fall. And  then try to restore balance by pushing itself forward and try again  with the other foot .. And so .. It is a charming symbolism towards life  .. The risk is half your steps to move forward! The risk of failure or fall remains hidden in trying to achieve your goal.

Staying in the wheelchair is not a disadvantage. In fact, staying in the wheelchair is a good way to fail. But staying on the status quo and not changing is not a success at all.

I'm not calling for failure as something you should look for and accept, but I mean it is something you should not fear. If you want to get up and walk, you have to be prepared to fall to the ground.

We all have dreams and goals, but they can not be achieved without a degree of withering, ambiguity and discomfort. It is difficult to learn to walk again, to have a perfect physique, to  have healthy food, to build a business, to write a book, start a sharp  dialogue, get a better job, and maintain a high standard of living.

Advantage to be wrong

Seth Gooden, American entrepreneur and author, says:

When life experiences you harshly and your hand grips poverty,  there is no place for fear at all. In this case, fear is a luxury that  you do not have.

Although many have a pillow that protects them when they fall. Being wrong is not the end of the world. It is something we seek to avoid only. We have the advantage of being wrong. The goal is not to make a mistake, but to make a mistake is a price we should pay to get it right.

You can spend your entire life developing faulty decision-making skills and avoiding failure. This is easier and safer. But how long will you remain ignorant of what you can do to keep what you are doing right now?

The alternative is to challenge yourself by working on things most people apologize for. You can push your foot forward and struggle to regain your balance -  as the wheelchair does in the previous example - will certainly fall in  your way but the risk of falling is what makes your achievements  significant.

Do not forget, the real failure is not to take action in the first place.
