That Little Voice “It is hard to fail, but it is worse than to never have tried” – Theodore Roosevelt It seems to me that there is a blurry line between failure and success; a line dependent on one’s perception of what each outcome may look like. If we start on a journey, one we’ve planned and anticipated, with a destination in mind, but fail to reach that specific place, does that mean the journey is a failure? If we begin a relationship with high expectations of what it will look like in one or 15 or 30 years, and the relationship ends after only six months, is that relationship incomplete or failed? Is the face of success smooth and rosy as we cross the finish line exactly when and where we had planned? And is the face of failure worn, tired, weather beaten when we realize we are miles from our intended target? I think not.
