ProTip:  Aspire to more.  You will fail.  But failure part of
the learning process.

 

Even if you fail when aspiring to mire, you will quite likely
be in a better position than you were before you tried.

 

I think I'm qualified to say Pro because I've been paid for
the last 20 years for 10:aspiring, 20:failing, 30:goto 10.

 
 I agree. Fear of failure will just keep a person from
 accomplishing much of anything.
 
 It's good to realize that people who end up producing something
 awesome didn't just get it done on the first try, they tried,
 and tried again with persistence.

You responders are of course correct about the benefits of not
letting fear stop action, but I read the OP more as a matter of
asking why make the effort when it just increases contact with
unwanted folks (and behaviors).  Maybe I misread.
