It’s better to fail than to not try at all

It’s better to fail than to not try at all

Attempting something bold or challenging provides valuable experience and lessons, even if we fall short of the goal. Not trying precludes any chance of success and prevents growth. As long as we reflect on failures and let them guide us, we haven’t truly failed. The only real failure is in not striving to reach our potential.

Matthew 25:14-30. Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did not plant and gathering where you did not scatter; so out of fear I went off and buried your talent in the ground. Here it is back.’
