Fail to Succeed

Success and failure. We think of them as opposites, but they're really not. They're companions - the hero and the sidekick.

~ Laurence Shames

A life lesson that I have been learning and this is the best I have heard it said. I hate failure. So my reaction is not to do anything so I won't fail. Ah yes, the servant with 1 talent who buried it in the ground...there are many times I have lived like that. But I think I'm starting to see that failures are what teach us to succeed. The sidekick has a purpose after all. He keeps the hero REAL.
