Lack of Trying

If when I fail, it won’t be for lack of trying.

I will fail because I made a bad decision. I will fail because we didn’t have the right resources, or the right skills, or enough time.

I will fail because I choose to quit, having gotten into a project I misjudged.

But lack of trying will never figure in. I think of “trying” as a core approach to life, and as the source of what success I ever achieve. It’s not optional. It’s essential.
