Repulsive Male Habit #11: Scared of Failing
This is one of my favourite videos of all time.
My wife likes it when I fail.
Sounds weird but get this: My failures are opportunities for her to give something of value to me – support and encouragement. She feels needed and worthy of providing support by just being there for me, reassuring me, helping me realize that I am okay and that everything will be fine.
I find it hard to look like a failure sometimes. I have always been very independent and handled things on my own. However, I need to fail at things more often and thankfully, I am blessed to have someone in my corner like my wife to be there when I do.
What ‘failures’ are you hiding because you don’t want anyone to know? Could you be denying someone the chance to support you at the time of your failure?
Name a failure, any failure:
Hey Andrew,
I agree, failed over and over again following my dreams and only one success has been enough to turn my life around. All those failures have become then just part of the road and I’m grateful for them as much as I am for my success. today I’m at it again…
Awesome, comment… thanks for contributing, Francisco.
My marriage, I was hiding its real face for so long. I have finally decided to face it as a failure, to be honest about its state…and you know what? People have been gathering in support of me! people like you Andrew ,thanks.
This is big, dude – takes guts to say this.
