I think it’s perfectly fine to try something, decide you don’t like it, and take it off your future to-do list.

OTOH, how many times have we done something, failed at it (or just done a sucky job), and taken it off our future to-do list … because we didn’t like the sense of failure.

I’m reminding y’all (and myself) that so many skills take time to develop and some of them can make a huge difference in the health and enjoyment of our marriages.

The next time you burn dinner, do a poor job communicating, or wind up with blah sex, set down the temptation to stop trying, reduce risk, and live small.

Instead, give yourself a pep talk and remind yourself that failure and imperfection are a part of the learning experience.

Be brave. Try again.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.” Mary Anne Radmacher
