evidence: Some things we try end up disappointing. We may fail a few times along the way. Though we may learn important lessons through our failures. And we may derive some benefit from the effort, even if not all the benefit we sought. Whether twenty years from now you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did do—no one can say. We’ll need to wait twenty years for the answer. But it’s certainly a thought worth having. And the more risky the venture and the more fear the idea generates—the greater the need to give it thought. You can always decide later not to proceed. But we owe it to ourselves to seriously consider the move. And I suspect that most of the time when we look back, we WILL be more disappointed by the things we didn’t do than by the ones we did do. One other thing is certain, and it’s this—you must leave the dock to reach the distant port. There’s just no way around that. That’s the scary part. Twenty years from now you may regret the journey. But more likely you’ll regret staying on shore. So get out there, my friend. And send me a post card.
