Idea 💡

"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default." — J. K. Rowling

Reflection 🤔

A hidden truth of life is how great a risk it is to be overly cautious.

If you never attempt difficult things, you have given up living a life that fulfills your potential.

If you're not willing to fail on your journey, you have failed yourself already.

Action ✅

Where are you being overly cautious in your creative work? Take a step outside of your comfort zone today.
