When learning something new or trying to succeed at something do you ever give up if you really want it to work? Say your goal was too make 7 free throws out of 10 on a basketball goal. But on your first attempt you can only make 3 of ten. Once this happens do you give up? What reason do you have to give up other than maybe you are just a lazy person? This is the goal you set for yourself so why not strive and work towards it? So 3 weeks later after practicing your heart out you end up making the 7 out of 10 which was your goal. Congratulations! Was there anything negative that came out of this? I would say no...
When learning something new or trying to succeed at something do you ever give up if you really want it to work? Say your goal was to stick your a paper clip in an electric socket and to not get any shock whatsoever. Is this a goal? Yes. Is it attainable? No. Why do we as humans still attempt to make things work and try over and over again when we get the same result? I honestly have no idea. Maybe a sense of hope, or the chance of it working? Maybe the thrill of the gamble? It gets to the point of stupidity. When you repeat the same process over and over (say 3-4 years for instance) and get the same results, what is there to test again?
I learned this in a harsh way. I usually have to do things wrong, or experience them wrong anywhere from 3-5 times to really be shut down. And this has happened yet again still standing as a truth about myself.
The thing is when it comes to love, you do not need to ask yourself a new question. The same question lies for everyone. Different people do seek different answers to this question. But in the end we all want success. Unless our selfish minds detour us into desiring something that contains no positive aftermath. So with this being said, as opposed to asking a new question, we need to just find a new subject to test.
Simple, eh?....
And on a side note. I regret so many things, not that i have done. But that i did not do. Regret is real, viable, alive, and in your face. Live your life.
