We fail forward to success.

You can eat an elephant, one bite at a time.
The world is full of people who are very quick to dream and very slow to act.

Often it's because they failed to break big goals into manageable goals, but more often, it is fear of failure.
Many people are so afraid of failure, they never try anything.

You can only overcome such fear if you are willing to get up and started.
The death of fear is in doing what you fear to do.
We fail forward to success.

You will make mistakes and sometimes you will be frustrated as you work toward your goals. But for every failure, there is an an alternative course of action.
You just have to find it.
When you come to a road-block, take a detour.
Go another direction.
Go over, under, around, or through it, but do not give up.
Have confidence in yourself., and you will find another route.

A diamond was once just a hunk of coal until it was put under pressure and polished to perfection.
