When we are failing, we are learning. Even though that we don't want to fail, but we are still learning. Sometimes it's just that we are taking a little bit more risk and put ourselves out there to be able to learn. But if we don't do that, we are not learning as fast.
So we are always on the edge of, do I fail? Do I want to fail? I don't want to fail. So should I do that step? Sometimes it just requires us to take a little bit more risk than we are used to, to get to the next level.
Sometimes we are getting on the plateau where we understand, yeah, we are in a comfortable zone and we are happy and that's good. But sometimes we are on a on a plateau and we're not happy, that means you need to move. That means you need to change. That means you need to be active. If you want to get towards the future, you need to learn to fail.
You need to learn to do things differently and through that then get where you want to be.
