Not Trying Equals…Nothing

“Probably the biggest lesson I have learned in my career is that my errors of omission have damaged me far more than any errors of commission.

What I have left undone, un-thought, and untried through selfdoubt have been incredible, missed opportunities. You are guaranteed a 100% failure rate if you never try. I have seldom been damaged much by the things I attempted to do or that didn’t go right.”

This blog post is not great.

I don’t have much to say today.

Fortunately I am piggy-backing on the shoulders of Pen and Wayne.

Their words have far more power than my own.

I haven’t missed the publication of my daily post.

I have tried, so cannot have failed.

I could have done better, but I have kept a promise to myself.

I have put in another rep to strengthen my resolve.

There’s no shame in not being perfect.
