A Page Out of the Heathen Saint Bible 2

Today, whatever day it is you read this, I encourage you to go out and FAIL. Just pick something to do and completely fuck it up. I encourage you to go a resturaunt, order something you would never order with the hope that it tastes awful. Pick an insanely beuatiful member of the opposite sex and holla at them. If you end up embarrasing yourself that's all the better. Today, you should make a mistake. You should seriously make an effort to fuck up today. Go do something that you have no idea will work and just watch it all fall apart in your face.

I don't know when some of us (self included) became afraid of failure. I think if children had the mindset of most adults there would be a lot less of us walking right now. It was either, Feuerbach or Hegel, that broke down all progress into 3 parts: Thesis, Antithesis, & Synthesis. I know, explain it like you would explain it to a 2nd grader.

Ok, you have an idea that solves all your problems. This is your thesis. Eventually, you come across a new problem where your idea doesn't work anymore. This is your antithesis. So you then form a new idea that solves your new problem plus all your old problems. This is your synthesis.

This is the process you went through to learn how to walk, talk, ride a bike, swim, add, spell, subtract, read, write, fight, do your taxes, solve a 1-dimensional Schroedinger equation for a harmonic oscillator, not shit your pants in public or any other activity you can do.

You tried. You failed. You tried again. You, probably, failed again. And then one day you got it right. This is how life seems to work.

So, if you don't fuck up, it won't get better.

Remember that next time you want something but are scared to go after it.
