  Dot com. Welcome to the Daily quote, the
• 0:07
  podcast designed to kick start your day in a positive way.
• 0:11
  I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to
• 0:14
  you by the great News podcast. Why would you listen?
• 0:18
  Because good news should be heard and it's available where
• 0:21
  all great podcasts are found. And I've also left a link in the
• 0:25
  show notes. Today's quote comes from Albert
• 0:28
  Hubbard, who famously wrote, The greatest mistake you can make in
• 0:33
  life is to be continually fearing that you will make one.
• 0:38
  This hits on a truth we've explored many times here on this
• 0:42
  podcast, the idea that fear of failure is often more damaging
• 0:47
  than failure itself. When you are constantly afraid
• 0:51
  of making a mistake, you aren't just being cautious, you are
• 0:55
  unconsciously engineering a way not to win.
• 0:59
  Think about how many times you've stayed in the planning or
• 1:02
  researching phase because the idea of getting it wrong felt
• 1:07
  too risky. We tell ourselves we're
• 1:10
  preparing, but as Pablo Picasso noted, action is the
• 1:15
  foundational key to all success. If your foundation is built on
• 1:19
  fear instead of action, nothing of substance can be built.
• 1:25
  Mistakes are not detours from your growth, they are your
• 1:30
  growth. Working through a mistake gives
• 1:33
  you a depth and a resilience that you simply cannot
• 1:36
  manufacture. By staying safe.
• 1:39
  You don't need a perfect plan to move forward, you just need to
• 1:43
  stop sabotaging yourself before you've even begun.
• 1:48
  If you're feeling stuck today because you're worried about the
• 1:52
  what ifs, remember that the direction is more important than
• 1:56
  the pace. You don't have to leap into the
• 2:00
  unknown with total confidence. Tiptoe if you must, but take a
• 2:05
  step. So here's the question.
• 2:09
  What have you been avoiding lately because you're afraid to
• 2:13
  make a mistake? What if you decided that the
• 2:17
  mistake is actually the fuel you need for your next victory?
• 2:24
  That's going to do it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off
• 2:28
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
