I recently bought a drone.
Unfortunately, one of the first times I tried out the drone, it crashed into a tree and fell off a cliff into the water. (Shockingly, I wasn’t the one flying it, but it would have most assuredly been doomed to the same fate)
After making the claim on insurance, I went out and bought a new one.
I’ve had this new drone for the last couple weeks, yet have been fearful to fly it.
“What if I break it again on the first flight? Then I have to go through this whole process of acquiring and paying for a new one.”
But with that same type of thinking:
What is the point of wearing new shoes, if you are worried about getting them dirty?
The point of asking out a girl if you fear the rejection?
The point of applying for jobs where you won’t get an interview?
The point of trying out a new business that will most likely fail?
The answer to these questions is: we never really know what’s going to happen. We only know what will not happen if we don’t try.
In the words of Awolnation: “Never let your fear decide your fate.”
I surely won’t get that footage of Sunset Cliffs unless I take out the drone for a flight.
So I have to try it.
