I'm quite inspired by failure. Not the passive, laissez faire failure of inactivity or disinterest but rather the deliberate failure driven by the willingness to risk everything for a chance at success. After all, success is rare. Given the odds, one is far more likely to fail than to succeed no matter the endeavor. That being said, failure in and of itself isn't particularly interesting. But deliberate and purposeful failure derived from throwing oneself completely into the task at hand - now, that is inspiring."Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
-Samuel Beckett
To fail completely one must do completely. Deliberate failure takes courage and creativity. After all, to fail so thoroughly one must be utterly consumed with the exercise of doing. Trying alone isn't enough.
How could such dedication and determination, not be inspiring?
So, give yourself permission to fail. Be deliberate. Fail often, fail better, fail harder.
