Never Be Afraid

To Try

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about 2 hours ago 1 min read
Try and try again

“Don’t be afraid to fail.

Be afraid not to try.”

When you try and fail,

you learn!

If you don’t even try,

you learn nothing!

It is an instinct in us humans

to preserve ourselves,

our lives,

and to be accepted by society.

However,

if we do not even try,

we will be holding ourselves back,

especially when it comes to personal growth.

Embrace the possibility of failing

because this is a necessary stepping-stone

towards self-confidence and success.

We can only learn and improve

by making mistakes

and then

we will ‘get it right next time’.

In this way,

we will be creating

a culture of continuous

change and improvement.

When we accept ourselves for ‘who’ we are,

mistakes included,

we are showing and proving

that we have control over our own lives,

and that we believe in ourselves.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

    So true I will try most things before I say no I can’t do it. I usually surprise myself too 😊🏆🏆🏆
