Just a Ramble: Accepting Failure

I think I've always had a hard time accepting failure. Having to put myself in a position to really allow myself to grow at a breakneck speed has been something I've avoided for a good portion of my early adulthood. I really didn't know how to thrive under pressure and I sought the obvious security blankets of my general life.

But growth comes from within and the only possible way to see that growth is through challenges and obstacles. I can't wish to become a better man and human being without the trial by fire you can only imagine in great epics from long ago.

Taking risks is necessary to learn this growth and by no other circumstances can any individual wish to pursue anything similar. Failure builds character and by fortifying your mind and spirit during times of adversity will you rise to your true potential.
