truth. fear of failure often lends itself to inaction, which, ultimately, is failure. however one will often explain it away that they never really tried, so therefore they never failed… amazing the rationalizations of the thinking mind.

Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don’t look back at it too long. Mistakes are life’s way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.

Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
