We all mess up.
ALL of us.
When I was a junior jammer k,
I hid these f*ck-ups.
I never talked about them.
I rarely admitted to them.
I only talked about my successes.
Then a loved one told me
that I didn’t understand what he was going through
because I’ve never failed.
I’ve never f*cked-up.
I’ve never been nervous or worried about failing.
I realized I was doing the world
and my loved ones
a disservice by not talking about my mistakes.
I was making it more difficult
for THEM to succeed.
Yes, when I talk about my mistakes,
some critics judge me harshly
and yes, there are more critics in this world
than there are doers.
But the doers are who matter.
And they learn from my experiences.
They benefit from hearing about my mistakes
and this helps them change the world.
But I’m also certain
that his post will help
someone change the world.
Consider sharing your mistakes
with loved ones
and other people who matter to you.
