How to avoid regret
It's easy
Most men avoid battles they’re likely to lose.
Your ancestors stormed a beach, knowing they might not survive.
Why?
BRAVERY.
Your great-grandfather faced the bigger bully.
Why?
Because the alternative was submission.
Life often presents two difficult choices:
Be a coward
Engage in a fight you’ll probably lose
Great men consistently choose the fight.
We FIGHT.
I don’t care if the odds are against me.
Statistics don’t matter.
The alternative is living as a coward.
The world has lost sight of this principle.
You’ll compromise your principles because society demands it.
But remember,
Your cowardice will haunt you far more than any loss would.
The pain of regret is always larger than the pain of trying.
Embrace the challenge.
Kind regards,
Matthew Harris
