Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Today's thought from Hazelden is:If you're never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take any chances.-- SoulDo we avoid making new friends because we're scared they won't like us? Do we get embarrassed when we make a mistake and avoid trying again? When we get our feelings hurt, do we think we're bad, or that something is wrong with us? Being scared or shy or hurt are all part of being alive. When we try to stay away from painful feelings, we keep ourselves from having many wonderful adventures. If we're afraid to meet new people, we may never have any close friends. If we stop trying when we're embarrassed, we may never learn a better way of doing things. And if we don't share our hurt feelings, we may never find out that everyone else has the same feelings we have.What can I try again today that I failed at yesterday?
