Here's one of my quotes from one of my favorite books. The book is called Failing Forward by John C. Maxwell. If you're not familiar with John C. Maxwwell's work, now would be a great time to do so. This was one of my first exposures to John C. Maxwell's work, but I know own about five of his books I my library and I plan on adding more.
"An African parable captures the idea very well:
'Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows that it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: When the sun comes up you had better be running.'
If you have always had a hard time failing forward, then you have to get yourself moving. It doesn't matter what has stopped you or how long you have been inactive. The only way to break the cycle is to face your fear and take action, even though it may seem small or insignificant."
