“There are two kinds off failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought.”
~ Laurence J. Peter
In my own life, I know I am guilty of both these failures. I remember making sandcastles in the air without realizing I could build one in my life. I would see somebody I wanted to talk with and imagine a conversation, rather than going over and risking possible rejection.
Today I am able to risk. I am now the possessor of a thousand memories that actually happened.
I am also aware of how thoughtless I was in my addiction. I would react rather than respond, creating hostility as a wall to keep people out. Today I am able to think through a problem and apologize when I am wrong.
God, help me accept the richness of life on life’s terms.
