I like to try new things. Sometimes those trials succeed and sometimes those trials fail. Yet, I still continue to try new endeavors, events, and efforts. Why? I like what novelty brings to life though I admit when trials fail, I feel the ramifications of that failure. There's a bit of fear associated with trying new avenues in life, but if we don't try, we will never know what that effort may bring to life.
That said, I don't like to try new activities that are dangerous or beyond my physical or mental abilities. For example, I won't jump out of a plane--I'm simply too much of a scaredy cat to do that, and what it could bring my life doesn't equal the risk involved for me. I also don't like to travel to places that have travel warnings--I like to choose on the side of safety most of the time.
When new endeavor fails, I make peace with that and move on to the next event. That works for me. Onward.
