“You miss 100% of the shots you never take.”
Wayne Gretzky
Wow, how true is that?
So many of us go through life paralyzed by Fear of Failure. When the reality is that by far the easiest way to Fail is to Do Nothing.
… and besides, always remember that sometimes failure can be a good thing.
So, what “shots” have you taken today?

I’m a weather forecaster in the Air Force, who currently lives at Fort Hood Texas, with my wife Ana (who sells candles) and 5 of our kids. On those rare occasions when I have spare time, I enjoy photography, golf, poker, and spending entirely too much time in front of this silly box.

What shots have I taken lately? Hmm…well, I worked up the courage and posted my first eBook/Manifesto on my blog! (I’d say it took quite a bit of courage)
I wish I could’ve worked up a better design but I’m really more thrilled about the content given by the various contributors. Better designs in future manifestos to come

I can totally relate to this quote. My brother keeps trying to get me to ask a girl he knows out on a date. I always find excuses not to call her, but the real reason is just fear of rejection. In all reality I am already being rejected because I am not ‘taking the shot’. This post may have just given me the bump I need to actually call her. Thanks.
