In this episode, Ryan and Heidi discuss the topic of failure and its impact on our human experience. It’s our fear of failure that is a major obstacle that prevents us from taking action and achieving our goals.
We discuss,
- Failure is often the fear that stops people from taking action and pursuing their goals.
- The definition of failure is subjective and depends on expectations set by society, parents, or coaches.
- Failure can be seen as an opportunity to learn and grow, rather than a negative outcome.
- Quitting can also be a form of failure if one doesn't learn from the experience.
- Fear of failure is rooted in the fear of being embarrassed, rejected, or isolated from one's tribe.
- Overcoming the fear of failure requires embracing discomfort and seeing failure as an opportunity for growth.
- Failure should be approached with a process-oriented mindset, focusing on personal development and learning from experiences.
- Stepping out of one's comfort zone and practicing vulnerability can lead to valuable skills and personal growth.
