I shout this out with total conviction: Never let fear of failure prevent you from realizing your true potential! Go for it! And you will experience countless failings along the way ... but if you’re failing with success, you discover you only fail your own unrealistic and distorted ideas of who you thought you needed to be in order to be a "somebody," to be worthy of love and praise, erected from the deep dungeon of past painful despair.
True failure isn't when you don't get the outcome you want; it's when you stop loving yourself as a result.
