Hey there, friends.
Today I am here to talk about something most of us try to avoid which is FAILURE. I know it hurts and sucks. And honestly, it can be a headache to your brain. Our brain wants to avoid pain, and failure gives us that pain. So, naturally, we run from it. But you know what, failure is a part of life. Yes it is a big part.
I remember the time when I was really into freelance design. I was so passionate. I was always down to learning new skills, creating cool stuff, staying up late watching YouTube tutorials. But after a few months where clients ghosted me. I found it tough for me. Then, I totally gave up. It was a mixed feeling of embarrassment and also heartbroken. I told myself I wasn't good enough. So, I quit my passion.
But now when I remember my decision, I regret it. It is not because I was the best designer in the world. It is because I didn't even give myself a chance to grow. If I tried more with it, who knows I could be a successful freelancer. Or, Maybe I’d have a small design studio or a portfolio. I would be proud of myself and my decisions. That thought still gives me pain sometimes. But it also taught me a valuable lesson. Quitting over something doesn’t always bring relief. Sometimes it brings a long-term regret.
But my story doesn’t ends like this.
A few years later, I dived into the crypto world. Crypto world is like a rollercoaster. One day you're up 20%, the next day you're losing all you had. I lost money. Yes, many times. Sometimes I felt like a fool. But for some reason, I kept learning, I read books,and I joined communities. I failed again and again, but every time I came back with a bit more wisdom.
I know I am not even the best cryto trader. But I try. This time I don't want to quit. I am making myself. I am improving myself. At least I try. I don't want to give up this time. I also started writing here in hive. Want to be a regular writer. In crypto market, I usually don't take risk. I spend that much money which I can afford. Which won't get me upset next time.
Now, let’s talk about Hive:
One thing I’ve always wanted to try here is vlogging. But I’m scared of how I sound. What if no one watches? That fear of rejection doesn't give me a chance to make Video content. Yeah, I know if I never try, I’ll never grow. Maybe that’s something I’ll try this time. So, I also shared video content along with this blog.
So what have I learned?
Now, I try to not fear about failure. Now, I know it's a big part of our life. We need to face the failure and work on it, instead of fearing and running from it.
Tell me what did you give up on? What did you stick with even when it was tough? And what are you still afraid to try?
