Obviously, never trying is worse that failing. However, the fear of failure is a difficult hurdle to get over. Nobody wears their failures as an honor, only success is celebrated.
What is the real risk of trying? For me, judgement is powerful. I have a deep seeded need to be perceived as successful, I don't know why I care what others perceive me to be, I just do. The real question for me is...
Is revealing your vulnerability worth the risk of trying?
The logical me would tell you that failure is the stepping stone to success. I would tell you to go out and try new things, you can only learn from your mistakes, failure makes success sweeter, you will learn from every experience and always being successful makes for a dull and uninteresting person. Failure is the great equalizer, nobody can be successful all the time. At the very least, failure makes for an interesting story.
The difference between "try" and "triumph" is a little UMPH. Thanks Suzanne Brown for the nudge.
Today I will try something new and if I fail, so what...at least I tried. Cheers.
