(Whoops. Homer Simpson's "Trying is the first step towards failure" isn't exactly the motivational message I was looking for...)

It's good to remember that not everything in life is supposed to be easy... Here are some of my go-to reminders:

"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default."
J.K. Rowling

"Failure's not an option. It's a step."

"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."
Haruki Murakami
