I found this website through my awesome Twitter connections. I have pasted his article below and his website. I was really moved by this as I personally feel this way. If you fail, try again; don’t be afraid to make a mistake.
As a Girl Scout Leader, I teach the Girls from their mistakes that they can learn how to do it the next time better. It matters not if it is camping or planning a trip; each time you can improve.
This is also an applicable philosphy in Business and Social Media. As a Virtual Assistant, I am learning that maybe it’s better to post something and it not ‘be perfect’ than not to try. I have been lucky enough to have friends and collegues that have advised me and encouraged me. Then I get better at it from learning from them. You just have to keep trying.
What do you think? What is your idea of perserverance?
I think that everyone in their life fails at something. It is what we do after we fail that determines where we will end up in life. The truth of the matter is that we have all been conditioned to view failure as a bad thing. In reality, failure is nothing but a question. The question is, “Do I want this enough to try again?” We need to embrace failure. We should view it as a gauge that lets us know if we are ready to win. I promise you that at the end of every failing streak, there arises a winner, and once you become that winner, you will never change back. If you want your goal enough, just don’t give up and it will come to you.
Ask yourself this question, “how many times am I willing to try before I give up?” If you answer this question with a number, you will never reach your goal.

Thank you so much Anita for your kind words! My husband and I both believe strongly that you cannot steer a PARKED CAR! Too many times, just as you said, we are afraid we don’t know exactly what the right move is. But…at least do something! Sometimes that “something” leads you to the right move!
