How would life be different if you were willing to fail and disappoint others? If you simply stopped avoiding it? Would you work less? Try to perfect less? Would you be more decisive? A balanced and successful life includes failures and disappointments. Our goal is not to avoid failure and disappoint, but it’s to build up a tolerance so we no longer avoid them.
