Life is too short to be scared and not taking risks. I’d rather be the person that’s like, ‘I messed up,’ than ‘I wish I did that.’

Being the person who is taking risks and embraces challenges can lead to personal growth and professional development. While it may be tempting to play it safe and follow the instructions of our bosses or supervisors without question, this mindset can limit our potential for success. By taking risks, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and opportunities that can propel us forward in our careers.

It’s natural to fear failure or making mistakes, but it’s crucial to understand that these experiences are valuable learning opportunities. Rather than living with the regret of not having tried something new or taken a chance, we should strive to be the person who says, “I messed up,” knowing that we had the courage to try something different

I knew the most recent change was taking risks and I’m not sure if I’m happy with my decision. Sure, I’m loving where I live, my house and the geographical part of it but I can tell, work is going to suck. I have a boss who was thrown in a leadership position and somehow feels the need to micromanage me. He hovers. It drives me insane!!!

Failure is often viewed as something to be avoided at all costs. However, in the realm of risk-taking, failure plays a crucial role in personal and professional growth. The fear of failure can hold us back from taking risks and seizing opportunities that have the potential to propel us forward.

Moreover, failure provides an opportunity for personal growth by pushing us outside our comfort zones. It forces us to confront our limitations, adapt our strategies, and develop new skills. Each setback becomes a chance to build resilience, perseverance, and mental toughness.

In conclusion, embracing failure as an integral part of taking risks is essential for personal and professional development. By viewing setbacks as valuable learning experiences rather than insurmountable obstacles, we can foster resilience and continuously improve ourselves in the face of adversity.

 I’ve only been here a few weeks, yet I feel as if he’s the type that I have to earn his trust? I’m not sure but it’s not working for me. I had a great boss before. Truly a good leader which was evident since everyone including myself enjoyed going to work. Sure, I had days where I didn’t feel like working but it’s not like now where I dread walking in.

Everything is a fucking mess. I don’t even know where to begin and even if I did, he would shoot me down with well this is how we do it, or this is how it is here.

One thing that really bothered me was permissions on a program at work. It’s like he doesn’t want to let go of the reigns and my thoughts are if that’s the case than why the fuck did you hire me or why am I here?

Since it was such a rush to get me here, yet I sat for 3 weeks with no computer access.

It’s so weird. I’ve not been treated like an entry level person in well over a decade. It’s kind of an insult but also very upsetting because even simple tasks I’m questioned if I’ve completed them.

On the other side of that when he does ask me, well he doesn’t ask more he tells, when he tells me to do something that’s exactly how it is!!! “You do this”. So, when I do and try to figure out how he does the task and obviously it’s wrong, he will make sure to correct me. It’s hard to convey what I mean and not sound like I’m contradicting myself.

39! Days in and I’m counting the days for my return.

Idk how to even approach it. I feel as if he doesn’t like me. It’s not as if he’s mean… far from it. Just micromanages. I honestly didn’t even account for that factor when taking this job. *Big sigh* here’s one more way he fucked my life. I wouldn’t even be here had he not wanted to come back here, and I would have accepted the offer if I wasn’t so hurt over everything that he did. Proves a valuable lesson–never run or hide from problems.

Embracing failure as a learning opportunity is a mindset shift that can lead to remarkable breakthroughs. By reframing setbacks as stepping stones towards success, we can cultivate resilience and bounce back stronger than ever before.

Learning from failures requires a willingness to reflect on what went wrong and identify areas for improvement. It involves analyzing the root causes of the setback, understanding our own role in the outcome, and seeking feedback from others. By doing so, we gain valuable insights that enable us to make better decisions and avoid repeating past mistakes.
