Failure is a necessary part of achieving what we want or need to achieve since we can reflect on our mistakes and build off of what we have learned to create a new change. I have failed in drawing my art multiple times, always erasing and re-sketching. Even when I outline I make mistakes. I just learned to create something new out of what I’ve done to make it more satisfying for me. This is not only true for my drawings, but for my academic homework. If I make a mistake, I look it over and try to solve it again even if I do not have a chance to turn it in again.
When i draw and make those mistakes, however, even though I try to improve on it, I still think to myself “why did I do that?” Or “I should’ve made it better.” This is because I always want to prove to myself that my drawings need to be good and live up to their expectations, and if they’re aren’t, then they are not really good. I think this is why we always look at our mistakes negatively; it is something we have failed to do, and our prideful self wants it to be perfect on our first try.
Fear of failing keeps me from trying again, knowing that I still won’t be good enough even if i do it another time. However, this is not entirely true. I should always be humble about my mistakes Andy i should never have to think of them as being bad, because you know what? I may never be perfect at something! I should just do the best I can and learn from what I have done! Failure should never be an obstacle.
