A few good things happen when we try and fail.

1. We learn what doesn’t work
2. We learn where our boundaries are (so we can break them)
3. We get stronger
4. We have better stories.  (no one talks about the vacations where everything was perfect.)
5. We go farther than we thought we could
6. We try new things
7. We realize there are few things in life that result in being killed and eaten (tip to Bill Bryson)

Being comfortable is good for a while but you get soft if you don’t try for more.
