When it comes to trying new things why do we expect to be perfect the first go around? History is wrought with stories of the uber successful failing hard and often before they achieved their great triumph. George Washington lost many battles, many men, and many supporters before he ultimately won the admiration of a new country, and an old world. Lance Armstrong defeated testicular cancer before he went on to win 7 Tour De France races. Abraham Lincoln failed as a businessman, a senator, and a congressman, before ultimately living to be one of the most revered leaders of our time.
It is the courage to decide, commit, and then succeed that we must learn to accept. The human element is capable of so much greatness if we will only pursue it in its proper course. Believe that you can, commit to its practice, and patiently harbor its success.
