He speaks of not being afraid to try something new - to test the boundaries of a new idea. He advises: When you do test, however, don’t be timid about it. Use testing to seek out the limits of your abilities. Let yourself run into physical walls and say “ouch” as needed, but don’t be stopped by imaginary ones. When you test, keep testing to the point of failure. You never know where your limits are until you run into them. [...] [...] Steve Pavlina talks about testing things to failure.

It was Steve’s blog that inspired me to start my own, and when I first discovered it, I literally spent hours every day reading his work. Now I’m mainly just reading his latest articles, but his in-depth, forthright, analytical style always makes me wonder and ponder. I liken Steve to a computer - that’s how thoroughly he processes ideas and concepts… but he’s a computer with a spiritual operating system and that’s what takes his particular blend of personal development into the thinking realm for me. His latest post, Testing to Failure, is a prime exampleof this computer-like processing. [...] [...] Steve - Pavlina that is… the man who started it all.

The article, called “Testing to Failure,” talks about why actually trying out new ideas is often a better alternative than just imagining what the outcome might be in your head. Being a rather analytical person that can demand a lot of myself, I know I’ve fallen into this trap at times out of fear that the action I want to take or the idea I want to try might not have the results I’d like (Mr. Pavlina terms this trap “analysis paralysis”). I have to say though that coming here to Sierra Leone has really let me work on this by becoming a more adventurous and confident person, and the reasons that this development is taking place are similar to those outlined in the article. Even if the results of my actions don’t always turn out the way I intended, I’ve found I usually learn quite a lot more (and have a lot more fun) by just going out there and doing things rather than sitting down and imagining what the results of doing things might be.

He lists several reasons why it is bad to test everything you do in your mind and I must say that I tick all the boxes. More often that not I will over-analyse my actions in my head until I become so wound up that I never do anything about it. Really I should have learnt this lesson a long time ago from my mountain biking days - “If you’re going to do something just do it! Worry about it later.” [...] [...] Todays entry on Steve’s blog is about the experience of failure and mental testing.
