Wrong the Hard way

It is interesting how the public loves a comeback story. How a protagonist can fall from their horse, tripped by some cruel fate, made a bad decision ... been wrong and yet still comeback for a "Victory".
Yet in the regular world the thought of being wrong and having to make twice the effort to get back on your horse is probably the scariest idea possible to people.
I have been wrong, and paid the price and got back on that horse, yet I still have a fear of being wrong. I know I can make a comeback, I know how to bounce out of trouble and I know I will not quit, so why be scared?
I guess the thought process simply sways toward my ego. It means that I have been  running in the wrong direction and in some part it hurts one emotionally. The decision to take another course or start all over again has already been made, but somewhere in your mind you do not want to hear this.
Is it Ego? Is it laziness?
These are questions I will continue to ponder until my next mistake. But let me say this, I have never not learnt from a mistake, so mistakes have their merit.
I guess it simply does not make the Creative process any easier.
