Welcome to this insightful episode of Words With Myself, where we delve into the importance of experimentation and play in the learning process. Many adults feel trapped by the pressure to succeed on the first try, avoiding new challenges and experiences due to fear of failure or fear of mistakes' repercussions. This episode challenges that mindset, advocating for a playful approach to learning, where making mistakes is seen as a stepping stone to success rather than a deterrent.
We explore how children naturally embrace experimentation and learn rapidly because they are not burdened by the weight of getting it right the first time. Adults, on the other hand, often lose confidence in their ability to learn new skills, feeling confined by what they can presently do. The conversation shifts the focus from the nebulous concept of success to the attainable and measurable goal of constant progress, emphasizing the value of getting just 1% better each day.
This episode invites listeners to redefine their understanding of achievement, focusing on personal growth and everyday improvement rather than a fixed, often elusive, definition of success.
