Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither suffer much nor enjoy much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt.
The great tragedy is not failing, but in not trying. God has not called us to sit on the sidelines, but to get in the game. Only those who push their limits can discover how far they one can go. What great work is God calling of you?
Queen Esther was called to put her life on the line in order to save her people. She called her people to fast and she stepped out in faith and saw God bring about a great victory,
Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish. (Esther 4:16)
