It is better to have tried....

I am coming to a cross road in my life, I am about to make decisions that will alter and shape the course of my life this year in a big way. All of my decisions, choices, and life experiences have lead me to this day. This year will be a year of no regrets. so many times in my life I have failed to try, afraid of failure and rejection because of my past. The past can rule our future if we let it,  The verse Philippians 3:13 Amplified Bible (AMP) comes to mind.

 I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead.

We are progressive being, consisting I believe of a soul, a spirit and a body. Our souls are our emotions and temperament and our spirits the eternal part that is immortal and we live in a body. I have noticed often at times I almost worship my feelings like they are a god instead of worshipping the true God, I have come to know and serve each day. 

So this year I will with God's help I'll make wise decisions and even some decisions I wouldn't ordinarily make. Living with a mindset of no regrets and making the most of ever opportunity to cherish those in my life at the moment.  

As the sayings go I would rather try and fail a million times then, do nothing and succeed. I know if it's important to me and the right thing, a way will open up. If not it won't and I'll know I can let it go, get back up and try again with more wisdom and knowledge always growing. I need to stop making excuses for everything in my life that is hard. People often did impossible things that seemed impossible at the time but forgot about the possibility and just did there best. They did let the thought of the impossibility prevent them from trying. We can see this in everyday life that I am sure many people thought were impossible 50 years ago. It's all because someone tried, and failed, learned from there mistakes and tried again and eventually no matter how many times they failed there were persistent and determined and were rewarded.

I want to have the same tenacity to persue my dreams fail and keep going towards the goal. I believe it is always worth it in the end.
