Why can't you fail?

While I garner a little anxiety even creating this post, there are undoubtedly many other individuals proceeding in their life with the fear of failing the present task they are working on. It seems pervasive in our society that to fail is to make oneself less valuable, less productive, less... human? But why? I thought being human meant that we are expected to make mistakes? To me, the mistake is to believe that failure is truly wrong. 

Instead, each failure should be an opportunity. It can be a chance to prove to yourself that you can pick up and try again. A personal resistance, motivation, invigoration. Instead, a failure can be as fulfilling as a new beginning, to as small as a push towards the "right" answer. Though our society as a whole might garnish anxiety towards failing, it seems failing is a process that can make us grow in truly boundless directions, as long as we continue to pursue self-efficacy and individuality. So continue failing, and continue learning, because the only mistake would be to let failure prevent you from trying.
