The Sunny Side #7: Albert Einstein

"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." ~Albert Einstein

Have you ever been afraid? Of course, you have! Everyone has!

But what has been noticed is how often people (even myself) are afraid to try anything new because...

They are terrified of making a mistake!

But why? Why are we afraid of making a mistake?

I know, for me personally, it's the little twinge of embarrassment that shoots through my chest every time I think of other people seeing my mess ups and difficulties. Maybe you have that too?

But should we really be that worried about the judgement of other people when going into a new situation?

Well, maybe and maybe not.

But if you're doing your best, making the world and those around you better, then maybe you should keep the opinions of others just that. Other's opinions and not your reality.

And so, if you are going to try anything new, prepare yourself! You WILL make mistakes and people WILL judge you for them.

But don't let them get you down. If you're doing the right thing for the right reasons, mistakes are only learning opportunities. They are put in your way to make you more of what you are meant to be.

And since you are trying something new, your mistakes will be new. And if your mistakes are new, you are setting a new trend and path for others to follow! So carve your way to something new and set the world an example!
