<p><strong>It’s Okay to Fail and Vital to Try</strong></p><p>That familiar pit in your stomach.</p><p>The quiet whisper of what if I’m not enough? </p><p>You put yourself out there, a new project, a relationship shift, a personal dream and it crumbled. The sting is sharp. </p><p>You want to hide. </p><p>Or rewind time.</p><p>But sometimes, it doesn’t even get that far. </p><p>The fear of failing or being judged is so loud, you can’t take the first step.</p><p>Starting can feel like standing on a cliff edge, with everyone watching. Maybe somewhere along the way, we learned mistakes aren’t allowed. That we must always get it right.</p><p>Here’s the liberating truth: it’s not just okay to fail, it’s essential. </p><p>Failure is deeply human. </p><p>And more than that, it’s the fastest route to real growth.</p><p>Think about it. Learning to walk? You toppled again and again. But you got back up. </p><p>When you first tried baking, maybe it was a flat, burnt mess. Or when you started coding or learning guitar; full of awkward stumbles. </p><p>But every mistake taught you something. </p><p>A better grip,</p><p>A new strategy </p><p>Which button not to press.</p><p>Every single misstep isn’t a verdict, it’s feedback. A gentle teacher pointing out where to adjust. With each stumble, a quiet strength grows: the power to rise, again and again.</p><p>If fear has you frozen, or you’re still smarting from a fall, try this rhythm:</p><h4>Try, Learn, Grow</h4><p><ul><li><span style='font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;'>Feel the feeling. The fear, the shame, the sting, it’s all valid. Let it move through you instead of burying it. You’re human.</span><br/></li></ul><p><font face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br/></font></p><ul><li><span style='font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;'>Look for the lesson. Shift into detective mode. What did this teach you? What can you try differently next time? Even messiness carries wisdom.</span><br/></li></ul><p><font face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br/></font></p><ul><li><span style='font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;'>Take one step. Use what you learned. And start tiny — send one email, write one line, share one idea. The boldest leaps often begin with one quiet foot forward.</span></li></ul></p><p>That rhythm; try, learn, grow doesn’t just push you toward goals, It transforms you. </p><p>You begin to trust yourself. </p><p>You face fear with more ease. </p><p>You build resilience that isn’t loud, but deeply rooted. And over time, you stop chasing perfection and start choosing progress.</p><p>So next time fear whispers or things fall apart, take a breath. </p><p>Remember: the biggest loss isn’t in the stumble, it’s in never stepping at all. </p><p><strong>Try. Learn. Grow.</strong> </p><p>Because the quiet act of trying again is how you build the strength to shine.</p><p><br/></p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
