That’s right, I made a mistake.

There, I said it.

And it feels good.

You know why?

Because now I can stop being so afraid of making mistakes and instead get on with my life.

Nobody’s perfect, so why do I think I need to be?

The fear of failure can hold us back from achieving so many amazing things in life.

We often listen to those voices inside our head that say “I can’t do it”, “I don’t know how to do it” and “I’ll never be good enough at it”.

Well I’m tired of fearing mistakes.

And I’m tired of fearing the unknown.

I have one life to live and I’m going to live it with passion and courage.

Did you know Elvis Presley was fired after just one show at the Grand Ole Opry?

That’s right, the General Manager at the time told the young singer, “You ain’t going nowhere, son. You ought to go back to driving a truck.”

I’m pretty sure Elvis didn’t let that minor setback stand in his way of success.

And we shouldn’t let the voices in our head - or the voices from anyone else for that matter - determine our value or direction in life.

Many of us took a huge leap of faith when we came to Wealthy Affiliate – I know I did.

There is so much to read… so much to learn… so much to do.

But each day gets better.

The setbacks get smaller.

The rewards get larger.

The community grows stronger.

And we’re presented with a golden opportunity to learn, grow and share with one another, each and every day.

And that’s priceless in my opinion.

So go ahead and take some chances today.

Take some BIG chances.

And make some mistakes along the way.

It’s okay.

The important thing is you’re taking action.

And that’s the best feeling in the world.
