The greatest successes are born out of failure. And you can’t fail if you don’t try. It’s easy to sit idle, overthinking, afraid to put yourself out there, to try something a little crazy. Another project to add to the unfinished pile. So what? True success is making the unfinished pile bigger than the not started pile. In life, the finished pile is when you are buried in the ground. How horrible to finish what you never even started. So go ahead, start the first chapter of your novel…again. Sign up for a class you may not complete. Train for a race you might never compete in. Go back to the unfinished pile, pick up where you left off, or start again. Just don’t be afraid of the unfinished pile. In fact, get comfortable in it, seek it out and soak it up.
