But I mightn't land this perfectly, but I'm always going to be proud of myself that I tried to do it. That's it. And if you fail, it was worthy. It was worthy. You honored yourself. You honored what it is you really wanted to do. And here's what... All the research shows, and my own experience shows too, Mike, that when we do risk those worthy failures, we never regret them. And here's why.

When you don't try something, you don't change. You don't learn information. You don't meet new people. You don't discover something else that does work. You don't expand your world. You stick exactly where you are. When you try things, even when you fail... Sometimes you meet new people, you gain new knowledge, you realize, oh, I can handle stuff like that. You discover things about yourself.

You discover often things that do work. And so we need to give ourselves permission to kind of blunder imperfectly forward, not in a reckless way. I'm not talking about not thinking about what are the risks that you need to be managing, but just in a thoughtful way, knowing that It's through our inaction that our comfort zone gets smaller and smaller.

But when you're doing things, you're like, ah, you know, I'd really like to learn something new. I'd really like to change this thing. And you know what? I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing, but I'm going to start stepping toward it. You are always going to end up being a bigger, braver version of the person that you have it within you to become than had you not done it.

And we often discount the cost of inaction.

Well, I think recognizing that most of the time when we're taking a risk, it's really, really binary. Like, oh yeah, I was gonna win, I was gonna lose. So for instance, buying a house, when I look back, I wished I'd spent more money and extended myself more, but I was way too uncomfortable and financially risk averse. than to put so much money into my first home or my second home, frankly.

But to that point, Mike, we're always having to analyze the pros and the cons. Can I afford it? Can I not afford it? What are the chances of this going wrong? So we need to do that analysis. And you said, well, it could have gone either way. You know, most of the time it's not 50-50. Most of the time it's like, well, you know, there was a 15%, 20% chance it might not have worked out.
