Feeling Like A Failure Is Worth The Risk

     Try harder and you'll soon experience success...WHAT???  Who said that anyway?  Probably someone who has never once lost a race or lost a game.  Well, whoever said it had it right.  Nothing worth achieving is going to come easy no matter how hard you try.  The point is that trying is living.

     That's right...trying is living.  You see, we all have dreams that we have yet to realize, yet we still have them.  The problem lies in that we are afraid to fail so we fail to try.  I remember someone telling me early in my life that I was just a "dreamer" and that maybe I should come back to "reality" and stop dreaming so much.  I remember looking at them like they had just lost their mind.  Stop dreaming?  Not going to happen.

     The thing is, when we stop dreaming we stop living.  After all, if it wasn't for our dreams and aspirations we would be boring and ready to live life like the rest of them...like robots.
Robots don't dream nor do they aspire to greater things.  They simply follow instructions and never make mistakes.  But are mistakes not the reason why we keep trying and keep living?  I mean, mistakes really make us all better in the long run since it is through our mistakes that we experience and our experience makes us who we really are.  Right?  For me, I would rather keep making mistakes and learn than to not make any mistakes and err in this thing we call life.
