Fear of Failure and Creativity

The fear of failure exists in an atmosphere where creativity is stifled. Creativity involves risks and failure must be regarded as a learning experience. Creativity is birthed where failing is good . . . as long as it (failing) doesn’t become a habit. There must be opportunity to ‘try’ even though  success is not guaranteed.

If you are in a working environment that encourages creativity, celebrate. If you are not, find one that gives you that opportunity. Great accomplishments are realized after much trial and error. But . . . you must try.

As hockey legend Wayne Gretzky states,“You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.”
