Fact: falling short is part of the game.
**It’s ok to miss the mark.
It’s ok watch that idea fail miserably.
It’s ok to start over again and again and again.
What’s not ok?
Settling.
Giving up.
Accepting mediocrity.
Because if you do, you’re gonna wake up with regret one day.
Unless you’re ok with that, it’s time to face whatever is holding you back.
Do that thing.
Take the leap.
And have fun doing it.
It’s not about the outcome.
It’s about enjoying the journey.
It’s about looking back one day and saying,
“Everything didn’t work out. But f*** man, I lived.”**
