"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying."
-Michael Jordan
It's humbling when you put yourself out on a limb, and the branch breaks. The only thing that hurts more than the impact is the fall cause you don't know how far down you're gonna drop. But once you survive the fall, dust yourself off, rejoice that you aren't mortally wounded, and take comfort knowing you attempted the impossible and lived to talk about it.
Too often, I played out scenarios in my head, would assume I'd fail, and not move forward. I'd retreat. How sad is that? So much of life can be happenstance and hypothesis. But that's not what makes life exciting.
Especially in stories. Our heroes are meant to fail, overcome the failure, then win. We don't connect to heroes who just win, win, win. The arduous journey is what lures us.
We need to see ourselves in this light. Grow from your failure and face new challenges as often as you can. Strive for success, and get up and keep going when you fail.
You'll only know if you can once you try.
Embrace the fail, and move on.
