I just get so excited when I have a good idea! Whether it's an idea for a dinner party, a blog article or buying a gift for someone my creative juices start bubbling and it's all I can think about.
Sometimes my ideas or dreams work out and sometimes they don't. And when they don't...like the time I made a fancy dessert for some good friends that tasted like whipped soap instead of mousse...I have to wash the 'oops' egg off my face.
Here are a few important things that "getting egg on my face" has taught me:
- It takes courage to act on dreams or ideas and not worry
- Not taking a risk is worse than being afraid to take a risk
- Life is more interesting
- Success is an attitude
- What others think isn't important—self worth is more important than other worth
- You're never too old to start something new.
And if I fail, so what. At least I tried.
What dream or idea were you pursuing the last time you got egg on your face? What did you learn?
