Failure is Better Than Regret

Do you want a life where you don't even try?

A life where you never took that risk?

A life of complacency and mediocrity?

Of course not but that is what will happen if you don't at least try to achieve your dream.

Let me explain.

You see one of the biggest regrets that people have when they're dying is that they didn't live a life true to themselves.

They lived for others' expectations for their life.

How sad is that?

These are people that regretted their whole life decisions because they lived for others' expectations.

To avoid the uncomfortable conversation that would have lasted just a few minutes, it would have been hard for a few days after that but after that things would go back to normal.

That is what they were running from.

How sad.

It's really better to try and to not make it than to not do it and have regret.

The worst emotion you can ever feel, what is it?

It's shame.

If you feel shameful too much, you will get depressed.

It would even be traumatic to think back on it.

So remember whatever you want to do.

If you want to go all in on some dream career of yours or you want to be a doctor but your parents want you to be an architect or something, you need to just defy that.

You need to do whatever it takes to at least try your dreams and sure it might not work.

There's always that but just at least try your best, this is something I learned the hard way.
