Experimentation Can Make You Stronger

"I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." Henry David Thoreau

Why are we so afraid to fail? It must've been in school where the process of beating standards and following precise orders begins.  We are molded into performing for treats and not attempting things for the purpose of purely learning.  An important truth for you to know is that even when we fail we learn. And sometimes accidents can be happy ones.

Today I will experiment with words.  I will challenge myself to connect beautiful words with poetic meaning.

What interesting things will you experiment with today?

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time."
