Itโs OK to get butterfly in your stomach; the key is to learn how to make them fly in formation.
Georges St-PierreMy fear delivered one of the great lessons of my life: That someone without fear canโt push himself. He canโt get better. He canโt transform negatives into positives. He canโt open his world to creativity and invention, or even progress.
Georges St-PierreAs Aristotle wrote a long, long time ago, and I'm paraphrasing here, the goal is to avoid mediocrity by being prepared to try something and either failing miserably or triumphing grandly. Mediocrity is not about failing, and it's the opposite of doing. Mediocrity, in other words, is about not trying. The reason is achingly simple, and I know you've heard it a thousand times before: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
