What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.
Fear of failure keeps us from attempting. keeps us from trying out our secret passions and interests. For some it may be daredevil acts like sky diving or adventure rides, for some it may be day to day decisions like investing in stock market. For some it maybe just communicating one’s feelings like love, care, compassion and asking for forgiveness.
Negative emotions are more easily conveyed by way of our anger and irritation, however emotions like love,care and affection are always taken for granted. Sometimes we find ourselves at loss of words to express concern over strained relationships. Be it a friend, spouse or parent.. we find it difficult to mend a bridge that is broken. We find it difficult to say the words.. we decide to remain angry with each other even though it breaks our hearts to stay apart. We find it difficult to seek forgiveness… we find it difficult to say “sorry”.
But failure or not we should give ourselves a chance. Keeping our ego aside,we should strive to rekindle the relationship.. We should attempt our best to bridge the burnt bridges. And even if we are met with failure we can be satisfied that we tried. Because attempting is knowing. And once the person is gone forever, repenting on the lack of our efforts will be of no consequence and we will forever be ridden with the guilt of not having tried.
