better to try and fail....
 
Better To Try And Fail Than Never To Try At All

Some say risk nothing, try only for the sure thing,
Others say nothing gambled nothing gained,
Go all out for your dream.
Life can be lived either way, but for me,
I'd rather try and fail, than never try at all, you see.

Some say"Don't ever fall in love,
Play the game of life wide open,
Burn your candle at both ends."
But I say"No! It's better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at all, my friend."

When many moons have gone by,
And you are alone with your dreams of yesteryear,
All your memories will bring you cheer.
You'll be satisfied, succeed or fail, win or lose,
Knowing the right path you did choose.


My thought for friday ;)

Have a great sober weekend SR xx :tyou

I have failed over 1,000 times at trying to quit whatever I've been addicted to. At times I became complacent and decided to just give up trying, accept that I was addicted and let it consume me. I was in a dark dark place. Desiderius Erasmus said it best "Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself". Trying again is like giving light to darkness...never give up!!
