Failing miserably

I remember Tim Ferris saying something about imagining the worst case scenario for something to put it into perspective. I have mixed feelings about some of Tim Ferriss’s stuff, but this one thing in some contexts can be really useful.

I’m trying to write one blog post a day. Recently I’ve been failing miserably. And what’s the worst that’s going to happen?

Well, not much honestly. So what if I miss a few days? Or even a whole week?

Not much happens.

This same thing can be applied to releasing music.

What happens if you release a song and no one hears it?

Think about honestly what would happen?

Quite literally nothing.

No one hears it. No one responds to it.

Nothing happens.

That’s not that bad if you think about it.

Nothing even changed.

So, with that.

Release a song. Do whatever little thing you’re thinking of doing. Think about what’s the worst case scenario. It probably won’t be nearly as bad as you imagine it to be.
