I know we don't use the word "failure" here but I know many people are so scared to "fail" they don't want to even try.

"Fail early, fail often, fail forward" says Will Smith.

For anyone whose nemisis is the F word, please check out Will Smith's fantastic speech about Failure and why we should look forward to failing so we can learn the lessons we need to really succeed.

Most of all, keep trying! If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! I'm sure we ALL know that one! 👍😉

Another one I like is ‘if a things worth doing, it’s worth doing badly’ - could apply that to so many areas of my life 😹
