“There is no failure except in no longer trying.”
~ Elbert Hubbard
It’s not easy to accept our shortcomings, even if they are only what we perceive them to be. Life constantly challenges us. Today’s motivational tip is about persistence. Even when fear takes over, even when we doubt ourselves and our abilities, the only failure is from not trying. Fear of inadequacy is not a reason to pass up an opportunity to try. The only result of doing so is a sense of loss. What is gained by the prospect of trying is success. There is only one path to success–trying.

“The world fears a new experience more than it fears anything. Because a new experience displaces so many old experiences.”
D.H. Lawrence
Too often we let fear rule our lives. We fear the unknown. We fear the consequences. We fear change. Fear kills so many new opportunities because we let it sway us. Here’s a challenge for you.
Think back to to one year ago. Try to remember what you feared most, what worried you. Chances are you’ll only conjure vague memories if that of things that either never came about or didn’t amount to much at all. Your fears were not necessary.
Today, let go of a fear. Try something new for the sake of discovery. You may just find that opportunity that shouldn’t have been missed.
