“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” — Michael Jordan

Often, the way we approach problems will define whether we’re successful or not. We all have limiting beliefs but we should not let them define who we are now and who we aspire to become.

The most successful people in the world fail. And the reason they’re more successful than others is simply that they‘ve failed more than others. Hard to believe? Just pick your favourite hero and do a little bit of research into their life prior to becoming successful, you’ll be surprised.

There’s no shame in failure as long as you know you did everything to succeed. And sometimes, showing up is all it takes to succeed.

Never fear failure and never stop trying!
