Don’t regret it.
I am talking about that decision you are about to make – or not make.
See, a swing and a miss is often better than not even swinging at all.
You have a choice. You can do the work, regardless of where it takes you.
Or you can sit down and do nothing.
And – well – we know where doing nothing leads.
Remember that failure can also be another chance to learn. (And learning can compound.)
But eulogizing a missed opportunity is only a bitter navel-gazing look at the past.
Shame on that.
I want to know that I took full advantage of my good fortune. Even if I make mistakes along the way. I’d rather fail than regret.
