The Psychology of Depression and Anxiety - Dr. Scott Eilers

The Counterintuitive Truth About Failure That Changed My Life


Listen Later

Success isn't about avoiding failure - it's about finding your true limits. True growth comes from pushing past self-imposed boundaries until you discover what you're genuinely capable of achieving.

I spent years letting anxiety dictate my capabilities, avoiding challenges that might expose my perceived weaknesses. Through weightlifting and academic pursuits, I discovered that my real limits far exceeded my self-imposed restrictions.

In this episode, I'll show you how to differentiate between harmful and beneficial failure, giving you practical strategies to break free from self-sabotage. You'll learn how to use "controlled failure" as a tool for personal growth and self-discovery.
