How does it feel to have doubt?
You wish you could take back that thing you said...
Or to undo that thing you did...
Unthink that thought you had...
Worried someone may have misinterpreted
Or you think that you have misjudged.
Or someone ELSE might be judging you...
I want to tell you something.
Something about experimenting:
There's this really great quality about trying. That is, you get to KEEP TRYING. Even if it doesn't go the way you thought it might, or if a person reacts to that ONE try in a way that doesn't feel good to you, YOU GET TO TRY AGAIN. And again. And again and again and again, PROBABLY forever, if you want. And those tries will work the way you'd like some of the times, but other of the times, they will totally not work. But actually, IT STILL WORKED because after that try, you have the choice to ask questions, re-assess, even ASK FOR HELP, and try YET AGAIN! Go ahead! Today is probably not the last day! Or it might be the last day, but for goddess sake, just try. There is really. Really. REALLY. NOTHING to lose. JUST. TRY.
"Do or do not, there is no try."
Thanks Yoda, but you've kinda got it wrong. Do and Try are one in the same. Do not and Try not, also the same.
You might have experiences that feel a lot like failure, trying to do the same thing in the same way. But if ya don't change it up a little, how can the results be different?
For example:
Here I am, trying on this writing and exploring my own ideas thing. I'm probably not winning any nobel prize or becoming the next Poet Laureate, but I've got words and thoughts and I'm TRYIN TO USE 'EM!
(By the way, this is my second draft, because I decided to try again with some editing after the first draft. And you'd never guess, but I like this one even better!)
Now, you!
Go forth and try!
Ahhhhh that feels good.
