There have been times in my life when I have been so afraid of failure, or injury, or some other negative outcome that hasn't yet happened — and probably won't — that I have decided against participation in an event. And then I was left to wonder what could have been, if only I had trusted in myself more.Retired hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky didn't become known as "The Great One" by not taking chances.
"You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take."
— Wayne Gretzky
I can`t believe you ever missed any chances, because I "know" you as a brave and courageous woman!:-) The anxious and coward Kerstin!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kerstin! And I don't believe that you're a coward. Anxious maybe, but who isn't at times?!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWayne Gretzky has a way with words!
ReplyDeleteNicely done! Just what I needed to ponder today.
ReplyDeleteEsther: Yes, he's almost as good with words as he was with the puck.
ReplyDeleteLee: Thanks. And it's nice to see you here again!
