Motivational Minute (035)

Quote of the day:
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.” –Theodore Roosevelt
Consider:

If you have tried and failed at something at least it means you have tried. You have a goal and a purpose. You may not hit target every time, but you will eventually have success because you are doing something. Those that don’t try for fear of failure are never defeated, but they never win either.  

Sometimes the things we most want seem to come with the most risk—the risk of rejection, disappointment, or failure. But if you play it safe, and never let your desire see the light of day, you often risk something even greater--the opportunity to experience the joy that comes from expressing your unique talents and gifts. And worse, by not taking the risk, you can be left with a haunting inner voice that will forever sing the song of "if I only had." Consider taking the risk. It is better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all.

Wishing you all the best,

Coach Dana
