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."
