"not failing as a way to fail" is deep, and it takes some massive deep thinking to understand.
Failure is powerful, and sometimes I think we have to fail less than we succeed more to constantly keep taking risk. When people fail more than they succeed, they just become too careful

There is that too. It's fear of failure, and especially happens when failure may have consequences on the life of the people attempting different things, either financially or in the way people look at them after they fail.
I read somewhere that Thomas Edison was criticized and laughed at intensely while failing to produce this incandescent light bulb. But he persevered and eventually succeeded. Not everyone would be able to go through the same scrutiny while failing and keep going. Luckily, most people don't have to, but they can still "fail forward" in their quasi-anonymity.
"Not failing as a way to fail" is a way of saying people don't take the chances to live up to their potential. And that, in a way, is failing.
