If you don't try...

If you don’t try,
It might never happen.

Hi Mich

I think I might be... I was wondering why something in my life wasn't happening and then it occured to me that if I don't even try, how will it happen? It's not likely to just plop into my lap..

hmmm...

Conversely, if you never try, you never fail!!!

Or, if you do try, it will happen, but not necessarily to your liking!

And lastly, to think of it, to see the progression and conclusion in one's own mind, is that not enough? Is that not a form of accomplishment? And just maybe, in the anti-universe, what we think here, actually happens there!!

So take care of what you think gurrlish!!

Hippie Ozzie Mozzie Dai gurrrl!

Hello Fog

You covered all options as well as making me laugh!!

I like your thoughts:

to think of it, to see the progression and conclusion in one's own mind, is that not enough? Is that not a form of accomplishment
?

I’d like to think of this as being true. It’s definitely a less critical way of looking at life.

I have to toddle off and ponder about what you said, thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks, Raven. It was a bit of a driving epiphany to be honest. It was like a gentle nudge to do a few more things...

Glad you like the pic, I took it in New Zealand,

Have a lovely weekend,

Ars Poetica
a garden to smile at
and true words to boot
tracy's got it right
i can hear an owl hoot



half of me says; yes keep trying, don't give up even if you've tried and failed so many times, keep going, do it again, this time could be different..

and the other half says;

meh, couldn't be bothered..

but then it's the end of the long weekend, up and at 'em tomorrow..

"I have to toddle off and ponder about what you said, thanks for your thoughts."


tee hee! I LOVE that phrase, "toddle off"...have not heard it for ages, I used to say it myself a lot, but things go in and out of favour, like the tide, it swells and abates; as do our fears, loves, energy and opportunities in life.

Remember my friend, always go with the swell!!!

cheers

Hi Lily

It's good to see you. Thank-you for your poem, it made me smile.

It's a bit of a wriggly see-saw isn't it? I agree:

half of me says; yes keep trying, don't give up even if you've tried and failed so many times, keep going, do it again, this time could be different..

Maybe it's like Fog said:

to see the progression and conclusion in one's own mind, is that not enough? Is that not a form of accomplishment...

Maybe it's doing what feels right...

Maybe I don’t know...

Ah well...

Hi Fog

It’s one of my usual phrases, I use it so often I’m not really aware of it. I’m always toddling about, it goes back to my Welsh roots. Glad it made you laugh!

Hiya trace

here here! tried and failed is better than never trying at all... plus you get to have some fun along the way too! Stretching yourself to the limits is the best exercise!

Good luck!

Hi Ash

It's good to see you.

I like that idea of having fun along the way, I think I take it all too seriously sometimes.

Thanks for popping in,

Hey Tracy,

Yeah... I've tried to move out of home and out of Australia three times, unsuccessfully. I could simply give up and resign myself to being stuck (it's not that I don't like it, but I can't stand being in the same place for too long), but I'm determined to keep trying, for however long it takes...

Have a nice day ~

Hi PM

It's good to see you. Yes, I agree, keep trying (even though it can be hard and who am I to talk?).

Sometimes it amazes me how after trying something many times, sometimes it just all slots into place. I guess that's great impetus to keep our motivation going.

Thanks for reminding me to remember these thoughts.

Good luck with your plans, hope you're enjoying uni,

Tracy

Oh, I didn't graduate or anything - just had enough of it and decided to stop going. It's just not worth my time.
