Cheers to failure!

Guys, I have a problem (shocker, I know). I have a chronic fear of failure. I will go so far out of my way not to fail that I keep myself from taking really exciting and fun opportunities. Because I'm terrified. I'm terrified of actually going after what I want and then failing.

So I shared all this with my mom last night. What did she have to say?

"Ansley, I hope you fail. I hope you fall flat on your face and screw everything up. Because then you'll realize that failing isn't so bad. And you'll get up. And you'll start over. And everything will be a lot easier."

Okay, Mama Rix. We get it. You're smart.

Well, cheers to failure everyone!
