2024/12/21 With any plan, identifying reasons why it might fail is easy. These often outnumber reasons why we ought to be positive and optimistic about an outcome. If we allow enough negative reasons to override positive ones, we then talk ourselves out of doing what deserves to be done and with as much effort and enthusiasm as we can muster. Be careful you dont talk yourself out of pursuing something only because you feel effort might outweigh a reward. A reward is waiting to be seized.
