I know this is a topic and a subject that is often written about here in Project Hope, but I guess it is because it is something we struggle with, fight with, and fight for on a daily basis.
But, I would like to take a closer look at this short saying from Franklin Roosevelt. It is easy to just read the part of it that you like the most, but let us take a closer look at it together.
Take a method and try it.
This is the first part of the saying. Take a method and try it. He says, go ahead and try it. You have nothing to lose. Don't be afraid to try something new. Nobody ever succeeded without trying something, so if you want to go somewhere, go ahead and give it a try.
If it fails, admit it frankly, and try another.
This is the second part... Whenever you try something, failure is a very possible outcome. I have done lots of stuff that I don't consider to be great successes. But, that is a part of reaching success. I might write 50 articles on different topics, and only one of them will actually succeed and reach the masses. This is also very true when it comes to SEO and getting organic traffic to articles. You cannot always understand why one articles turn into a success and ends up getting lots of traffic from Google, while another one that I consider to be better, receives no traffic at all. But, it is part of the game.
And, when you fail at something, don't be afraid to admit it. Being together with experts who never make a mistake is terrible. You don't feel good around such people. But, being around vulnerable people feels so much better, because they are human beings, just like yourself!
And if you fail, don't stop. Try something else!
But by all means, try something.
What is the conclusion? Do something! Don't sit still waiting for something to happen. If nothing happens, happen yourself! If nobody is doing anything, do something! The worst thing that can happen is for nothing to happen. It might feel safer, but you will not achieve what you could have achieved if you actually stood up to try something new!
So go ahead and have a good day! I wish you a blessed Saturday, a beautiful Sunday, and a new week with new opportunities at doing new things, old things, and being creative!
