Fear of Failure

“A person with a growth mindset isn't afraid to look like an idiot. They accept not knowing something as the first step to learning…..As children we could care less about falling flat on our faces in front of others.”
I have often wondered when is that moment in life we learn to be afraid of failing and learning. I imagine it is different for everyone from embarrassing moments that haunt our childhood, or adults telling us to stop trying something for our safety or safety from public humiliation. Failure can be a very powerful tool used in life to bring success to our lives. Fear of failure is a lesson taught that can harm us more than help us no matter how well our intentions may be. The most successful people in life are not afraid to take risks and learn from the risks that are taken. Success and failure are a great relationship for every human to learn from because you can not have success without failure and you can not be successful without learning from failure.
