One who fears, limits their activities. Failure is only the opportunity to more wisely begin again.
~ Henry Ford ~
In sharing with others, especially with our fellow members, we must never be timid about discussing goals, both for a lifetime and for short duration. When we are afraid of failure, we may take no action in setting goals. No one will be scornful of us if we fall short of a mark.
There is more worth in aiming at a target and missing than in shooting blindly. When others encourage us and refuse to let us be depressed by failures, we can take aim and try again. If our goals are realistic, we will reach them. If we tall short, we know we have at least made progress toward our target. The important thing is to aim for the things we need and do our best to get there.
I will set myself realistic goals and work to reach them, but I won’t be let down and quit if I fall short. I’ll just take better aim next time.
