We never learn to move out of our comfort zone ...
Failure is temporary
... and failure is good even if it feels really bad when it happens.
Look for the greater message of the experience and expect it to, eventually, turn out for the good.
Routine failing
It means you are actually active, doing something, moving forward.
We limit ourselves, and we impede our ability to make big things happen when we buy into what society says will work or not work.

Thomas Edison on failure
Failure Is Life’s Greatest Teacher
“Failure and defeat are life’s greatest teachers [but] sadly, most people, and particularly conservative corporate cultures, don’t want to go there...Instead they choose to play it safe, to fly below the radar, repeating the same safe choices over and over again. They operate under the belief that if they make no waves, they attract no attention; no one will yell at them for failing because they generally never attempt anything great at which they could possibly fail (or succeed).”
- Ralph Heath
