There Are Many Ways To Fail: Not Taking A Chance Seems To Be The Most Successful.

This one always hits me in the gut as I think back on times I didn’t take the chance. Those are the times I regret.
I remember one time asking 5 different boys to a junior high dance. Well, they were all taken or waiting for someone else to ask them.
I remember being bummed with the first two. Then after that, I thought, “why not?” So, if a friend wanted to ask a guy, I would ask the guy who was hanging with that guy.
To this day, I never wonder if one of them would have gone to the dance to me, because the answer is NO! I remember going to my five-year reunion and each guy stopped me to say “I regret not going with you.” That was nice to hear but it didn’t change anything and that is a good thing. Because their no never defined who I was in any way.
What risk do you which you had taken or you did take, that set you free?
