Quotes can be good reminders that we’re not alone in our struggles.
The most powerful quotes remind us that while failure is not optional, how we treat it is.
Fail well and learn from it, the most successful figures remind us again and again.

Good quotes are adrenaline shots, catalysts for perspective, reminders that as locked into our own thoughts as we sometimes become, others are walking the path right along with us.

I like quotes that remind me that being uncomfortable is an indicator growth is occurring, provided I institute the right mindset and actions to roll with the punches and come out the other end stronger.

A few quotes below remind us of the necessity of failing, but more importantly, of learning and growing from failure. Hopefully you gain enough perspective in the process to incentivize you not to repeat your mistakes and, in the words of Ray Dalio, to practice “radical open-mindedness.” This means listening to opposing viewpoints and coming to well-rounded conclusions, something often lost in the social media age.

We live in a time of monologues, many untethered from shared reality. Yet our technologies afford us incredible opportunities to connect, provided we remember we’re part of a larger conversation and not just a voice screaming into the void. Using our digital identities in such a way as to bring us closer to one another will be one great challenge in the coming generations.

Whatever you’re aiming for, striving itself matters most. Results are quick and fleeting; the journey is where you’ll spend most of your time. Fail often, fail well, succeed, and keep moving forward. Stagnation is no good in the blood or in the wild, and definitely not in our minds. Hopefully these tiny catalysts will motivate you for some epic marches ahead.
