Seldom do we have only one chance at anything. With most things in life, we have the opportunity to try, again and again. With most of these, we can, if we wish, learn, improve, and try again until we succeed.

Why, then, do so many people try something once, fail and quit? Why, do others refuse to, even, try something new rationalizing they know they can't do it, anyway? Part is human nature, I am sure. Other is learned, the fear that is instilled into them as they go through life.

We are told of our limitations by well meaning family and friends. We are told, for our own good, we must hire an expert to do literally everything. We are told of the potential risks of lawsuits, injury, and numerous other consequences of using our God given talents and abilities and making mistakes doing it.

Don't believe everything you hear. Believe in yourself. Never be afraid to make a mistake. Learn from your mistakes, grow because of your mistakes and achieve the success you are capable, the successes will be far greater than you can imagine.
