It's far better to have tried

One fear that we all share is the fear of rejection. We don't think about it, but in reality, that is why we don't do a lot of things. We don't think we are worthy or good enough, so we don't even try.

The thing with our fear of rejection is this: WE limit ourselves to what we could have or could be. WE stand in our own way of happiness and success. How? We don't try. We make the decision that we aren't good enough for whatever we want and we don't even try. By rejecting ourselves, we take away the possibility that someone else will reject us.

It seems crazy, but we do it. We would rather say we can't than find out if we can. We would rather spend our time thinking of the what if's rather than getting a concrete answer that we may or may not like. We want to do things that are favorable for us to get the outcome we want. It's nice to win, I'm not saying I like to lose because I really hate it, but when you lose, you at least know what would have happened.

It is far better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all. While it may hurt for a little bit, you know what came of it and what you need to improve if you still want it. It's scary to go into something where you feel that you can be rejected, I know it is, but what's the worst that can happen? You don't get the job, guy, girl, or position. But the best thing, you get something that you truly wanted and you can say that you were worthy and you deserved it. You know that you got it because you were qualified, and that feeling is worth whatever heartbreak or disappointment you could get. For me, knowing that I was unable to do something is much better than always wondering what could have been.

So hand over the reigns and go chase your dreams. You could be pleasantly surprised with all that you can do!
