When looking at taking risk we consider the chances of failure. Obviously, some risks are not worth taking. But what about when we are not taking risk because we are afraid of failing at being accepted, or being praised, or being told we're doing ok? Many people do not take risks because they are afraid to find out that they may not be "good enough" at what they love to do. But here's the thing. We can never truly "fail" when we are expressing and creating on the level of what we love and believe is important. Sure there are methods that are better than others, but in finding out what works better, and what doesn't work at all, we are merely gathering information to take the next step or turn in our process. We are failing forward. Taking the small "failures" and using that information and experience to step further into our creative and expressive selves. In this light, there is no failure. Just doing. Learning, evolving. Failing is a part of moving forward. And it's unavoidable.
