Some of the failures in my life—let’s not try to figure out a precise count—have really been embarrassing. In fact, it’s uncomfortable, even painful, for me to think back and remember some of them. I don’t like to recall spectacular ineptitude…especially when it applies to me.

But in spite of the embarrassment I understand that it’s important to keep trying. Keep attempting to pursue new, challenging, out-of-the-comfort zone objectives.

This is not eloquent, but in my mind I think of it this way: Keep doing stuff.

I think God created life in such a way that it tends to be richer and more fulfilling when we are willing to keep trying new things.

Don't Give Up... Keep Trying

Many important and worthwhile pursuits will require that we attempt a number of different ways and approaches before we break through and really make progress.  So, we have to be willing to try and try again.  ….And then try yet one more time.
