I'm not a hockey fan, but the words of Wayne Gretzky ring true across more than hockey. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." If you never write a book there is a 100% chance it won't get published. If you never visit France there is a 100% chance that you will never get your picture made in front of the Eiffel Tower. How often do we have a 100% chance at anything? Why are we guilty of going through life afraid to take chances because we might fail? When the reality is that we fail every time we dont take chances. The old adage, "Nothing ventured nothing gained," really is true. When I don't put myself out there I'm guaranteeing my lack of success. I might not win the Stanley Cup, but I'm going to start taking the shots.
