It is important to be calculative when faced with life’s major decisions but it isn’t wise to let fear overpower us.
Sometimes we are scared of trying new things, following unknown paths because we are afraid that we're going to make a mess of it.
But then I'd read somewhere that PROFESSIONALS BUILT THE TITANIC & AMATEURS BUILT THE ARK.

I don't want to walk because I'm scared of falling. The thought of getting hurt frightens me. I'm afraid that the wounds won't heal…
...so I won't walk.
I'll just stand at the crossroads & follow the path with my eyes & if I find that it leads to no-where, I'll close my eyes.
Or, better still, if I turn my face away.
I don't want to cross the bridge if I have no knowledge of what is waiting for me on the other side.
I don't want to dream because I know that I will have to wake up one day to find bitter reality staring at me.
I don't want to go into a tunnel if I can't see light at the other end.
I don't want to enter a cave & fumble about in the dark.
I'd rather have a candle in hand & if there is any possibility of the flame being blown out, I won't enter the cave.
I'm afraid of fighting because I dread the thought of losing.
”FAILURE IS A PRIVILEGE RESERVED FOR THOSE WHO TRY”
If I don't try, I won't fail…
BUT DOES THAT MAKE ME A WINNER?????
