Banish worry and doubt
When you were very young, you developed an astounding number
of new skills in a short period of time. You quickly worked
your way from a helpless infant into a capable and
knowledgeable young person.
How were you able to make such rapid progress? One big
reason why you moved ahead so quickly was because you
weren't worried about making mistakes.
Certainly you did make your share of mistakes. You fell down
while learning to walk, and used the wrong words while
learning to talk.
And yet, you persisted, undeterred by your past errors and
unimpeded by the prospect of more mistakes. You had an
unshakable faith that you would eventually get it right, and
indeed you did.
When your focus is only on avoiding mistakes, you avoid
achievement as well. Being constantly worried about getting
it wrong prevents you from getting it right.
Choose to learn one more important lesson from the rapid
progress you achieved as a child. Banish worry and doubt
from your efforts, and see how very much more quickly you
move forward.
