COURSE

When You’re Afraid Of Getting Things Wrong

In this course we take a look at why we are so afraid to get things wrong and what it prevents us from trying. We will come to see that making mistakes is an inevitable part of living and learning and that accepting this fact gives us more freedom to try out new things and pursue our dreams and desires.

Lesson 1

Why Are We So Afraid To Get Things Wrong?

When did we learn to judge ourselves for getting things wrong? When we see young children make mistakes, we allows for them as an inevitable part of the learning process, but as we enter into adulthood the rules with regards to making mistakes change.

Lesson 2

A Change In Perspective

Every one of us here has got things wrong before. The question is: when did we learn that this wasn’t acceptable, and what do we fear about the consequences of getting something wrong? In this lesson, we learn that errors are a natural part of the learning process and life itself.

Lesson 3

Living With The Freedom To Make Mistakes

There are two ways to live your life. The first is to only do those things that you believe will work out, that you are highly skilled in, and that you can do without the fear of failure or anything going wrong. And then there is living your life, trying out all the things that you are inspired to, and fully accepting that things will go wrong along the way, and that is ok because you are resilient enough to be able to deal with the outcomes, whatever they may be.
