Hi Vimal,

Far be it from me to assign to a philosophy, but your mention of 'fear of making mistakes' reminds me of the Innocent Archetype as envisioned by psychologist Carl Jung. Here are some brief notes of it's expression in the shadow form; 

'..shadow of this archetype can arise as pessimism and depression, if their wishes and dreams are dismissed, repressed, or invalidated by naysayers and cynics. They may avoid taking risks to prevent making mistakes, being proven wrong, or being reprimanded. May struggle to do shadow work as unwilling to acknowledge the darkness. Insist on seeing the best in others, overlooking warning signs. Others may manipulate or take advantage of their naivety. Tend toward self-pity, lack of self-worth and low self-esteem especially when hurt by others. Tend toward powerlessness, fear, and victimhood in the face of the darker aspects of society. May be overly dependent on others and lack volition.'

The more soul archetypes you embody, the more potential shadow you will carry. It cannot be avoided, it cannot be got rid of, so it helps to be aware of how these shadows manifest. Usually, the management of the shadow-side is in the maintaining balance. With the Innocent, their dreams and wishes of a utopia, juxtaposed with the realities of paying the rent for example. The balance-point is where the actualisation of your dreams and wishes not only pay the rent, but perfectly reflect who you are as a being. The fear of making mistakes is a fear only, it's not an actual reality. You cannot really make a mistake, but the shadow might make you believe you have. Wishing your inner peace and perfect balance!

And, hey, why not? Go try out the woods!

With love
