Something I've learned in the last few years is that I can almost always think of a reason why I will be unable to accomplish any goal. Which is to say, if I only pursued goals I was sure I would accomplish, I would never pursue anything (which is effectively what I ended up doing for a few years, without really noticing the hole I'd dug for myself.) My current MO is to not deny myself preemptively and to just go ahead and pursue the goals I want to achieve. As it turns out, it's OK to try and fail. It's even better to try and succeed. I'm not haunted by failures in my life as much as I am haunted by roads not traveled.
