00:00:00
I look back on my life I was always so
00:00:01
scared of doing things you know for
00:00:03
failing really as I've got older I've
00:00:04
embraced it more and more because trying
00:00:06
stuff and failing it's a stepping stone
00:00:08
to success and it's so important a lot
00:00:09
of that fear of failure was probably
00:00:11
just fear of embarrassment or you people
00:00:13
that didn't like me laughing at me and
00:00:15
it's like [ __ ] those people and I regret
00:00:17
now letting that sort of mentality hold
00:00:19
me back yeah it's a tough one to deal
00:00:21
with for sure one of my favorite quotes
00:00:23
is your desire for Success must be
00:00:25
greater than your fear of failure it's
00:00:27
an interesting one to deal with I think
00:00:28
that confidence all the the time like in
00:00:30
society especially lately we're talking
00:00:32
about love yourself and like create this
00:00:34
image that you want to be and have that
00:00:37
confidence and then suddenly when you do
00:00:39
have that confidence or you do have the
00:00:40
self love who like oh they must they
00:00:42
just really love themselves you can't
00:00:43
really win either side so I think you'd
00:00:45
rather win or lose on the other side of
00:00:48
putting yourself out there and doing
00:00:49
what you want to do um and actually
00:00:51
giving it a go because you're you know
00:00:52
you're going to miss 100% of the TRS you
00:00:54
and take
