> I realized I was holding back too much because I feared being wrong.
One way I try to manage this feeling is to remind myself that anything I try won’t diminish me.
From a tweet I wrote a while ago:
“Fear of failure is actually loss aversion in disguise.
People think their actions diminish them.
“If I tell a joke and no one laughs, then everyone will think I’m a loser.”
You think you’ve “lost” your neutral state by putting yourself out there and now you’re worse off.
If you just internalize that your actions won’t diminish you (that you are always complete, from moment to moment, and what you attempt today won’t change that), you’ll be unstoppable.”
Congrats!!! What a big milestone!! You’re openness to learning and being a beginner coupled with the tension of wanting to be better is what will drive you to success. I know you’re already doing so well and will continue to grow and become the best director (or whatever you choose) ever ❤️
