Mistake

"The greatest mistake a man can ever make is to be afraid of making one."
- Elbert Hubbard 1859-1915, American Author, Publisher

Very constructive day yesterday, with much achievement and a slight break from the career decision game. Fell asleep on the sofa, and woke up at 2am to find that my mum was asleep on the other sofa. That fine family tradition is still as strong as ever!

One inhibitor in life is the fear of making a mistake. It feels safer not to take action, because that way you don't risk error and consequences. But is this a delusional argument? Inaction is a form of action that leads to its own consequences. I guess that we have to be prepared to make mistakes and learn from them, otherwise we would simply paralyze ourselves and/or meet other consequences anyway.
