What you’d try if you could not fail is worth trying knowing you might fail.

What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail? (Robert H. Schuller)

All of our fears are treasure troves of self-knowledge ready to be explored if you dare to make the first step.
Fear is a question. What are you afraid of and why? Our fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if we explore them. (Marilyn French)

― Rachel Carson
