The Courage to Begin

We all admire success, but we rarely see the failures that built it. Behind every achievement is a series of risks taken and lessons learned the hard way. Oprah Winfrey was once told she wasn’t suitable for television. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. Even innovators like Elon Musk faced moments when their dreams seemed one step away from collapse. Their glory wasn’t born from comfort — it was forged through rejection, criticism, and the courage to keep going.
“No risk, no glory” reminds us that growth demands boldness, and “no failure, no story” teaches us that setbacks are not the end — they are the plot twists that shape who we become. Every time we dare to step outside our comfort zone, we give ourselves a chance to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient. The real tragedy isn’t failing; it’s never trying at all. So take the leap, embrace the lessons, and remember — your greatest story is still being written
