Quotes To Live By

Quote #166: Kendra Johnson

Hi, I'm Kendra Johnson from Dow High Student Leadership. A quote that speaks to me is, "A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are built for," said by John A. Shedd.

I find this quote inspiring because it reminds me that safety and comfort aren't the purpose of our lives. It encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, because that is how I grow as a person. Fear is necessary for progress, making it motivating rather than discouraging.

So, if you weren’t afraid of failure, what would you try?
