“It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly…who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
– Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

Funny you should say that … I’m kinda feeling a bit stagnant myself at the moment. I need to re-look at some “stuff”.
The thing that people fear most is *change* in any shape, size or form. Problem is that if we don’t look for new ways -change – then we just shrivel up and die. You can’t just keep doing the same thing day after day and expect to grow as a human being.
I totally agree.
Why are we so conditioned to WIN all the time? Failure is frowned on and fear rules.
Better to try and fail than to not try at all – so long as you learn something in the process.
