"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to continually be afraid you will make one."
- Elbert Hubbard
I find this quote to be very inspirational to me and has served me well throughout my lifetime. I have always tried to be the very best at any endeavor that I put before myself - be it magic, martial arts, Russian Kettlebells, or even CrossFit. A lot of my success is due to the amazing mentors and coaches that I have selected to guide me down the various paths that I have taken. But I think my success in these areas can be attributed to one other thing - not being afraid to make mistakes and take risks. I have always put myself in situations where I could fail massively (and publicly) - knowing that the only way to really get good at what you want is to risk everything, fail, and then keep trying until you reach your goal.
Failure is temporary - never reaching for your goals is permanent.
