What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
It’s the final day of Bloganuary, and I should have known the last prompt wouldn’t be easy.
I’m scared to do a lot of things, but the thing I am most scared of is being a failure.
When I first started uni, I would sometimes not hand in assignments because I thought it was better to get a not complete than to hand in all my work and risk failure. It took me a long to to get over that and get my degree.
But I still fear failure. I’m worried that if I get fired from a job that will mean that I have failed. I have also been scared to chase certain dreams, and relationships becuase I was worried they would fail.
What would it take for me to chase all my dreams? Getting over my fear of failure is what I need to do do.
If I’m honest, I haven’t finished Bloganuary off on my best piece of writing, but I tried to be as authentic as possible with this piece.
