Being bad is good

We are educated to be perfect in every aspect of our lives. When we do something good, we get approved, but when we make a mistake or haven’t done a good job, we get rejected and then corrected. So when we grow up, the fear of failure is the fear of rejection as we felt when we were at school.

Being responsible is to get the job done and having that commitment is making the best of it but striving for perfection to avoid rejection is something that ruins our development. With our need to feel appreciated, things complicate and go wrong.

When we try to impress others, we fail; instead of accepting our flaws, we try to cover them up and then feel ashamed for failing. We don’t enjoy what we love the most because we are afraid others may not like us and we end up doing things we don’t like to please them and we end up empty inside.

How to enjoy life? Live and do what you really like in the best possible way. It will take time and effort but it is worth it. Failing is good and it helps us be better.
