There’s a difference between learning from why you failed in the past, and willfully making mistakes that can be fixed immediately, just to unlock your potential, and stop avoiding doing what you want, because you’d rather not try, unless you’re strong and prepared enough to not miss from the first attempt. When you bypass that fear of not making it from the first attempt through intentionally making mistakes, you would reduce the reluctance to begin unless you’re ready enough, which many wrongly describe as procrastination due to perfectionism.

This makes you not remain inhibitory by default for no rational reason. It means you don’t calculate that it’s okay to proceed before you begin. You don’t have to be absolutely sure that there’s no problem with what you want to do before you begin moving. You tend to talk yourself out of doing a lot of stuff just because you’re afraid of making mistakes. By having recently make some mistakes intentionally, you show yourself proof that making mistakes is not a concern for you, not a problem, so you stop being so reluctant to move forward and get things done.

Some people recommend making mistakes on purpose to unlock your courage to do more great work.

The purpose of this is to overthrow the fascist dictatorship of the prefrontal cortex, and overwhelm your inhibitory centers that are running at full speed due to the perpetual dopamine starvation that you have from being trapped in a boring life that does not let you exercise your full power enough nonstop. This strategy of overwhelm might make you panic out of being too stressed, but is essentially necessary to reduce your default suppression of impulses state and make way for your creative nature to start working guilt free, unleashing your full powers unapologetically and unchecked, even if everyone is going to look at you as an evil person in this case due to messed up weak protective instincts naturally present in the rest of the population. You gotta push yourself to undergo this mechanism or process, even though this is not necessary for your survival. Everything that is a break from your regular routine is gonna require force.

This isn’t about being not afraid of taking risks because this is unrelated to doing something anyway even if it fails or does not lead to the intended outcome. This is about mistakes, not being not afraid of failure. An example of taking risks is investing in stocks. An example of making mistakes is to let the glass of water stay under the tap and become overfilled and spill the extra water around it making a mess that you will clean up afterwards. Correctable mistakes, as opposed to Gary Vee passing twice on Uber and missing an opportunity of 300 million dollars, because he was reluctant to invest 25 thousand dollars when Uber stocks were still cheap. That’s not taking risks. On no occasion should you try to miss on opportunities like this for riches. That’s not avoidance of risk taking. That was you being an idiot. And he still regrets it to this day, working so hard to make himself and his audience to the best of his ability not repeat that kind of mistake. But intentional correctable mistakes is a whole different issue. You do something that is good or right but you do it with mistakes in how good the quality of it is initially, you make mistakes in the process of doing this good thing, along the way, that fit the description of being correctable. A precise example of this is writing first drafts that are of horrible quality which you would then keep modifying, editing, correcting, and refining, maybe even rewrite the whole thing from scratch again, just to get it to a level where it would be comfortably considered to be readable and not embarrassing. Why didn’t you write it perfectly from the start, from the get go, from the first attempt, or the first draft? That was allowing yourself to make mistakes on purpose to unlock your full creative potential, because as many writers or authors put it, the editing brain is different from the creative brain. What is that supposed to mean? The editing brain scans for mistakes and corrects them. That mindset or state does not make you so creative. This is exactly what I am talking about here. Couldn’t find an example that better fits that. The other example is taking ample time editing a video just because it contains countless moments that are not supposed to appear in the final thing. Why didn’t you film the video so that it becomes perfect from the first shot without any editing needed? Because you had to not avoid doing or saying anything on camera or while first recording the video unless it contained any mistakes. Getting it right or perfectly from the first attempt or from the start will hold you back infinitely from being as creative as you can really or actually be. The new thing that I’m recommending here is to not just work without being afraid of making mistakes, because you’ll edit them all out later on anyway, but also intentionally making mistakes that could be totally or perfectly corrected or edited later on, even if you could’ve totally avoided such mistakes from the start or from the first attempt. It’s about arguing and negotiating with your mind that you don’t have to attempt to do or pick the best and most rational or reasonable next action or move there is in order to be allowed to proceed without inhibition, suppression, careful consideration, or thinking a little bit first. This has nothing to do with being not afraid of failure. This is about developing the rule that makes you not forced to either pick the best, wisest, most rational or reasonable course of action or next action, step, or move possible, or else you wouldn’t even allow yourself or give yourself clearance to do this thing at the moment at all. It’s about allowing yourself to act to just get the thing done one way or the other.
