People often say they’re afraid of failure, but what they really fear is the judgment that comes with it. Failure itself is just an event, a feedback, a lesson, a step forward. People don’t really fear failing - they fear being known as a failure. So they stay in their comfort zones — safe, quiet, unseen. But when you avoid failure, you also avoid growth. Failure isn’t the end; it’s the lesson that builds you. Failure doesn’t define you — it refines you.
