“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
-Winston Churchill
We tend to allow the fear of failure or rejection to stop us from starting the things we care about. Truth is, failure is inevitable, and in all cases, it is necessary for progress.
“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.”
-J.K Rowling
What a pity it would be to live your whole life without trying that new hobby, or sharing that inspirational idea. We all have things we’d like to start, but we hesitate to begin.
Don’t.
“If you want to conquer fear, don’t sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”
-Dale Carnegie
If there’s something you’ve been meaning to do, start today.
Life is about putting yourself out there, learning, and failing. Incremental improvements allow us to achieve our full potential.
But to live it, you need to start.
