Never Afraid To Fail | Motivation From Dragon Age 2

from Geek Psychology: Play Life Better

Send me a textIn Dragon Age 2, Flemeth said, \"We stand upon the precipice of change. The world fears the inevitable plummet into the abyss. Watch for that moment... and when it comes, do not hesitate to leap. It is only when you fall that you learn whether you can fly.\"Hey I'm Matt Sherman and welcome to Geek Psychology, where we use the lessons and stories from geek and gaming culture to help us play life better.If you're not willing to take the plunge, you'll never get off the ground.Don't be afraid of failure—failure is just another step on your path to success.

Failure is not something to be ashamed of; rather, it should be celebrated as an important step on the road to success.Many great inventions and discoveries have come from what were originally perceived as failures; it's only through trial and error that we can hope to achieve greatness.I remember one of my jobs in college. I was working as a sales associate at a clothing store. I was so excited to be doing something different and not working in the food industry anymore. But after a few months, I realized that it wasn't what I wanted to do with my life - not to mention I was horrible at it and have no sense of fashion.It was a difficult decision, but I eventually quit and took some time to figure out what I really w****Connect and Support Geek Psychology #geekpsychology ****FREE 8 Hero Personality Assessment: https://geekpsychology.com/ Support the Show.
