"Fear of failure is higher when you're not working on the problem.
If you are taking action, you are less worried about failure because you realize you can influence the outcome."

“When I have an interview w/ god at the end of my life, he’s not going to show me how high I went on an org chart, or how much money I left behind.
But rather, he will say “Clay can we talk about the individuals you helped to become better people. “
