Fail or try

Here we are at the end of week two. This week I felt that the challenges were more about my life, about my future and about myself and not so general. 

Today's question is: Which is worse: fail or never try?

It's funny how almost all of this week questions were about things that I've been through or that I've thought a lot in the last year. This one is another one.

I really don't know the answer. I guess it depends of a lot of things. In the past I was a big believer of try and see what happens. Now I don't know. I would have to think a lot about what was going on. If you try and you fail is it better than to never try? Will you suffer more if that happens or will you suffer more if you never try?

Last year I had to decide between these two things and I chose try because I truly believed that if I never tried I would never know if things could work out and if I didn't try I would always have these "what ifs" in my head. In the end things didn't work out and even though I believe the try was the best decision I suffered a lot because of it. Was it worth it? I don't know. I don't think I'll ever know. But at least I tried. 

But, if I knew that things were going to end the way they did would I choose try again? I really don't think I would. No. I wouldn't. I don't think, knowing how painful it would be for me, I would be brave enough to go through it. Am I making sense? Maybe not! 

But when in doubt just try. You'll never know. Maybe things will work out, maybe it's the best option and you'll never live with the "what ifs" on your head. Failing is not an option. I guess, even though I still don't know which one is worse, we should try. At least when we really don't know the outcome. And if you feel that you can change the outcome? Try. I just want to be that brave one day!
