While it’s true that we’re never guaranteed success when we try something new, we can certainly take comfort in knowing that even if we fall flat on our face we’re still gaining life experiences and increasing our knowledge (thus getting us closer to our eventual achievement).
When I look at it like that it almost makes me want to fail as many times as I can — knowing that each time I’ll get a bit closer in my efforts.
The next time you find yourself faced with the question, “what if I fail”? Try turning that question around and ask yourself, “but what if I succeed?” The simple truth is that we have very little to lose when compared to what we have to gain!
