This Cancún Resort Helped Get Me Out of My Comfort Zone and Face My Fear of Failure
Let me start off by saying: I hate being bad at things. If I’m not immediately good at something new, my gut instinct is to never do it again. Throughout my life, I’ve started and quit so many activities—ballet, gymnastics, diving, horseback riding—and told myself it was because I’m a person who simply gets bored too easily. I suspect this attitude has something to do with “being a pleasure to have in class” all throughout school; I got good grades, never got in trouble, and everything came pretty easily to me. Failure just wasn’t something I was accustomed to.
Rest assured, I’ve been working on adjusting this rigid way of thinking (shout out to my therapist), and when I was invited to stay at Ava Resort Cancún in Mexico for their grand opening, I knew I’d be angry with myself if I didn’t take advantage of some new-to-me activities they had to offer. Sure, sitting by the pool all day is lovely—and impossible to fail at—but I wanted to put my therapy skills to the test. My goal: Try things I’ve never done before, and truly be okay with not being perfect on the first go.
But first, a bit about Ava Resort Cancún
Ava Resort Cancún is an all-inclusive, five-star resort that recently opened in October 2024. It’s located in Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico, right on the Caribbean Sea and only a 10-minute drive from Cancún International Airport. An Ava shuttle was waiting for me at the airport when I landed, but any guest can arrange transportation services through the resort.
