The One titled Taking a Chance or Die Trying

I am not typically a risk taker. I get set in my routine and tend to stay there. Once in awhile i will do something big, like move somewhere or start a new job. But those are life changes and that is, well it's just life.
On an average day, I do not do things that are out of the ordinary. Earlier this week I did. And although the outcome was not what i had hopped for. I took a chance.
And while I'm sitting here feeling really dumb and silly for taking said chance... My quote of the day appeared in my inbox. It was a good one.

A life making mistakes is not only more honorable but more
useful than a life spent doing nothing.
~George Bernard Shaw
