I saw someone respond to a statement like, “If you don’t start, you don’t start,” by saying, “If you fail, there’s no end in sight.”
-
When there is really no end in sight if you fail
- I’m sorry for your loss.
- Do your best not to fail.
- I don’t know if it would do any good if it didn’t fail.
-
When you just assume, “If I fail, there’s no end in sight.”
- This case is more common.
- We need to act, fail, and realize that it’s surprisingly okay.
- But the person’s own assumptions get in the way of action.
