When we try something new, sometimes we fail, and it can feel disappointing. But failure is not the end—it fades with time. The sadness or embarrassment of not succeeding usually becomes smaller as days go by. What stays longer and hurts more is regret, the feeling of wishing you had tried but didn’t. Regret can weigh on your mind and heart for years because you wonder what could have happened if you had given it a chance.

Many people avoid taking risks because they are afraid of failing. But it’s important to remember that trying and failing is better than not trying at all. Each time you fall, you learn something valuable that helps you get better. You also grow stronger by rising up again after failure. This process teaches you important lessons and builds confidence. Even famous people who achieved great success failed many times before they reached their dreams.

So, no matter how scary it feels, don’t leave your dreams unattempted. Whether it’s starting a new career, learning a skill, or pursuing a passion, take the first step. Even if you stumble, keep going and never give up. The pain of regret is much harder to live with than the temporary sadness of failure. Trying and rising is the path to making your dreams real.
