Why does growth feel like escaping from quicksand? In this episode I discuss some of the new projects I am working on, and the impact of taking these steps is having on my mental state.

Growth is both my goal and a necessity, but that just adds to the pressure. Thus the risk of failure is increased.

Trigger warning on the introductory poem.

I need to learn to be okay with failure. To accept my own imperfections and to let things go.

Doing so will enable me to take risks and try new things. There is a risk that it won’t turn out well, but to not take the chance is far worse.

Whats the alternative? To live out my life, never leaving the comfortable rut?

If you don't try, you are guaranteed to fail - that's a fact. If you do fail, it is not the end of the world, provided that you learn from it. Take every loss as an opportunity for growth, and you wont be losing for long.
