Episode 2586:

In "Think You Can Fail Only If You Try? Think Again" by Nia Shanks, the concept of failure is compellingly redefined. Shanks encourages embracing the risks of action over the safety of inaction, arguing that failing to try can be a greater failure than trying and not succeeding. This thought-provoking piece challenges listeners to step out of their comfort zones and explore their full potential, transforming how we perceive failure and personal growth.

Quotes to ponder:

"The next time you’re paralyzed by fear and tempted to snuggle back into your comfort zone where scary things don’t happen, look at the situation differently."

"Failure is an experience, not an identity."

"It’s an opportunity to strengthen your grit. To learn. To grow. To gain knowledge you can’t attain from reading a stack of books on a given subject."
