Isn't it great that we have second chances? Not only do we get to have a fresh start whenever we want, we are encouraged to do so! I used to have this idea that if I tried something and didn't succeed, then I failed. No opportunity for redemption, do not pass go, game over. Talk about pressure! Not only would that put me in a no-win situation, but why would I ever want to try anything new? Especially with such a strong incentive to stick with the 'status quo'. It was intimidating. But I realized that I should really think of my attempts as stepping stones. If I don't get something completely right the first time, I've still learned from the experience. At the very least, I know what doesn't work! But more importantly, I have improved my knowledge and now have experience I can use to reach my goal. So even with a minor (or major) detour, I can still move forward.
