I don’t know about you but I have been afraid of a lot of things in this life.

Fear of heights, drowning, failing, teeth falling out, being alone, not fitting in etc etc etc.

The biggest fear I have is rejection or failure. I have no idea why it’s the worst feeling, but having someone look down upon you or say you aren’t good enough isn’t fun. It can be crippling.

I have been very good at keeping the failure monster at bay and avoiding worry about failure. However, having a second child recently the thoughts have come creeping back into my head.

What if I am not successful as a father?

What if I mess up?

Word of advice for myself and anyone having doubts.

STOP OVERTHINKING!

START LIVING!

Ya we all will mess up, and fail. Embrace the failures with a smile

and learn from it.

We will not learn a ton from our successes because we think we are doing everything above and beyond. We think we can never fail, until we fail. Then it feels like the world is on fire.

I say mess up, fail, and keep trying new things. Keep pursuing that life of happiness and not be frozen in fear of failing every day.

Will I mess up as a father, a son, a brother, and a friend?

Heck yes!!!!!

Keep learning and growing to be the best you can be.

P.S. This isn’t a perfect world, why do we have expect ourselves to be perfect ?
