It is always a matter of having choices and making the decision...

Launch Out - How will you ever know if you didn't try, right?

Michael Jordan once said: "I can accept failure, but I cannot accept not trying." ------------------------------------------- I almost give up - almost felt lost. I am afraid of many things but I cannot just let things pass me by without even trying. It has always been my principle. Just try so I would never wonder about the 'what ifs' and 'could have beens'. Finally, I made my choice. I need to get back on track.

hi there!! i am glad that you are actually getting back to tracks. failures are never unbeatable and trying is never losing. failures are only discovering the ways through which you would not succeed, may be these lead us to a different discovery altogether!! hope that made sense...smiles. good luck!

Good for you for trying things. It is terrible to have the if onlys or what ifs. I am glad you are getting back on track. Best wishes to you, sr

Hi kayrod2! :) Yeah, I keep on asking myself this question: "How will you ever know if you don't even try?" Right. I could continue on sitting and thinking what my life will be years from now, but if I don't move, I'll just be left there still PONDERING and WONDERING. It's time to make a start! :) Thanks again, kayrod! Take care and God bless! (",)

Yeah, that is just well put. I think that is how it is in life. You have to make choices and decisions at all times, you can't just escape it at all.

yes it's trus that you cant give because if you give then why are living in this world it doest make any sense in life we learn from our mistakes so we sholud learn from our failures as it is said "Failures is stepping stones to succes" yes one should try to get back on their track even of they fail again and again a spider while building it's web falls from it a number of times even then it does not give up and then finally it successfull build it's web!!! so we should learn from surroundingaroud us it gives us the deteminance to try!!!!

Hi harshlovzu! Thank you for sharing about this and also, about the spider's web. (",) Now, that you mentioned about them, I thought about the efforts that they do to "build" their web. :) And if I may add, "Failures are just postponed success." :) Take care and God bless! (",)
