There’s been times in my life where I’ve been afraid to try. I don’t want to look foolish or incapable, so I don’t put myself out there. Learning comes from experience. Even if we don’t accomplish our goals, we can still use gratitude to reflect on the journey so far.
There’s no shame in failure.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.
– Winston Churchill
When we allow ourselves to dream, we have a chance to make a plan and work towards our goals. We can use gratitude throughout the process despite the outcome or the adversity. It starts with us.
