If you are too afraid of failure, you can’t possibly do what needs to be done to succeed in living a fulfilling life.
The key is to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Comfort is state of being in which to find rest and renewal for a short time.. it is a dreary and dismal place to remain permanently.
If you don’t challenge yourself on a regular basis, by taking small steps into unfamiliar territory, your abilities and effectiveness will become stale and weak.
The reason life can be so rewarding is precisely because nothing is guaranteed.
Some of your best life experiences and opportunities will come to you only after you dare to lose. When your efforts are met with failure, you know you are on to something…because on the flip-side of that failure is a real, substantial accomplishment that doesn’t come easy. Your failed attempt is simply evidence that you are reaching higher.
And “higher” is always the best direction to travel in.
