Today, we're going to be talking about failure and how to overcome failure. Let's get real. One of the biggest roadblocks between you and the life that you want, everything that you want, is your fear of screwing up. Your fear, that deep, nagging fear of failure. And it's keeping you stuck in some sort of way. And so what does this look like?
Maybe you hold yourself back because you don't want to make mistakes. And you chase perfectionism, quote unquote, and say you're a perfectionist like it's some badge of honor. Like you should just be wearing a shirt that says, look at me, I'm a perfectionist. Or maybe... You're just scared that somebody will judge you if you mess up. You're scared of other people's opinions.
And so you're like, I'm just going to hold myself back because if I do go out there and do the thing that I want and I do screw up in some sort of way, I'm going to hear people's judgments. I'm going to hear people's opinions. And that makes me feel worse about myself. So I'm just going to stay quiet and stay in the background. Does this sound familiar? I hear it all the time.
Whenever I ask people and I get on a live and it's a Zoom call with 2,000 people, I'm like, what's your number one fear that's holding you back from creating the life that you want? 90% of them at least is the fear of failure. And they think they're afraid of failing, but they're not afraid of failing. And that's what we're going to talk about. Here's the... the whole kicker to all of this.
Don't mess it up. That mindset of, I don't want to mess up. I want to make sure I do it right the first time. Whatever it might be is the worst thing that you can do for yourself in trying to become successful or trying to build an amazing life or trying to bring out your full potential. And I'm going to I'm going to share a story with you that really changed my mindset on this.
A couple of years ago, I was working on becoming a pilot and I was getting my pilot's license. And that alone is a journey, right? It's an entire journey. You're going to notice all of your fears, all of your limiting beliefs. And one day... My instructor is named Steven, who's an incredible pilot. He's got like 50,000 hours in a plane. He retired from UPS. He was there for 32 years.
He was the head of teaching in UPS. And he taught in all of the pilots that came through and safety and all this stuff. And what we do a lot is we practice landings. And so we'll go to an airport and we'll land and then take off, go back in the pattern, land and take off. We'll do four, five, six, seven at a time. And normally, like I'm pretty good at it. Like I'm really good at landing.
But one day we flew to a different airport and the airport was just way different than the other one that I was used to. So it was a shorter runway. So instead of it being 7,000 feet, This one was only 3,500 feet. So 3,500 feet was half the distance, like the length of it. It was also narrower. So instead of a hundred feet wide, it was 34 feet wide.
