What’s the point of reading fear of failure quotes? When we fail, we usually get discouraged and upset and we become afraid of failing again.

In order to succeed, we need to remind ourselves to let go of our egos and like the act of failing. When you fail, you gain experience from it and you grow wiser and you learn how to adapt and change things to attempt the same problem from a different angle.
My hope is that this small group of quotes can motivate you to take more risks in your life and to let you reach for your life long dreams. All we need to do is change our perspective on how we see failure.
