I agree with this. Everybody fails at something in their lifetime. I don't know anyone that hasn't; but we shouldn't go through life feeling like a failure.
It's only human to fail. If you try not to fail you don't enjoy life. We learn through our failures.
I've lived the majority of my life with the overwhelming feeling of why even bother trying, since it seemed like it was easier not to even try.
My fears, doubts and insecurities ruled my life to the point where I was afraid to even consider succeeding. I grew up in a world where it didn't seem to matter either way.
I'm only hoping that I can be brave enough to at least try accomplishing something in my life so I don't end up feeling like it was a complete waste after all!

Thanks Lisa. I have nothing more to add, you've said it all!
