Since then, that quote has stuck in my head, and whenever I'm unsure about taking a chance, I remember it. Now, I'm trying to apply it to bigger things; life changes rather than opportunities to do things. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't make it any less scary, but the thought of regretting not taking a chance or making a change scares me even more than the change or chance itself.
If you never take that chance or make that change, you'll never know where it could have led you. There's nothing worse than missing out on something then finding yourself wishing that you had gone for it, or regretting the fact you didn't, and the only way to avoid those feelings is to let go of your fear and just go for it. If you feel like taking that job or going on that trip or speaking to that person could bring you excitement or happiness or bring you closer to where you want to be, then do it. Get out there and take those chances, make those changes, stand on that glacier. Because if you don't try, you will truly never know.
Namaste,

Lovely post Rowan. I have always believed that it is far worse a thing to have failed to try, than to have tried and failed. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alix. I completely agree; it's far better to know the outcome than to spend the rest of your life wondering xx
