There is no doubt you will fail if:
• You don’t do anything that pushes you out of your comfort zone
• You give up before the project, fight or song is over
• You don’t give it your very best effort
• You don’t take risks
• You keep saying someday I will, one day I’ll and that day never comes
• You wait until the perfect moment
• You never try at all.
Life is not about if you will fail, but when. Life is not about avoiding failure; it is about what kind of person will you be when it happens.
No great person has ever gone through life without failure. Failure shapes, prepares and hones.
If in the end you have never failed, than it is likely you have never really lived.
