I have tried some things in life and failed in ways
that are truly embarrassing.
I don’t like failing. It stings. That’s fairly
obvious since no one likes failing, huh?
Also, I hate to humiliate myself. It’s bad enough to
live through an embarrassing experience when it actually happens. But I have
this tendency to go back in my mind and revisit embarrassing experiences. I
know I’m not supposed to do this and I try avoid it but sometimes I find myself
thinking this way, anyhow.
I have thought with such vividness about past
embarrassing failures that I turned red even though I was sitting in a room
alone and the experience happened 35 or 40 years ago.
Even with these truths in mind, however, I still
believe it is important to try things. It’s important to step out and take the
risk of engaging in pursuits that might fail. God gives us one life here in
this earthly realm. This life is meant to be embraced. It is meant to be
engaged in. It is meant to be a terrific adventure.
God gave us the extraordinary gift of life expecting
us to get going and live it!
