The only true failure lies in failure to start.

The only true failure lies in failure to start.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of taking action and beginning a task or goal. It suggests that not starting or trying at all is the only real failure. It encourages individuals to overcome their fears, doubts, or hesitation and to take that first step towards their aspirations. Success is not determined solely by the end result, but by the courage and determination to initiate and pursue something in the first place. Thus, this quote promotes the idea that even if the outcome is not entirely successful, the act of starting holds inherent value and opportunity for growth.
