I have often wondered why it is difficult for people to make committments. Could it be that after going through some disappointments in life they are scared to try again? Or they think they can never be ready to commit to a particular situation e.g. marriage?
Let us look at marriage for instance. Some people have been bruised and hurt in relationships more than once and the scars have probably not totally healed. They now become so scared of trying again that the mere mention of the word 'marriage' to them have them breaking out in cold sweat.
How do you convince such people that marriage is not really as bad as they think? That they could meet really nice people abd begin again? It is a tough call but through prayers and encouragement they could heal enough and be more careful in making another choice. It just takes for people to be patient and understanding with each other. There is nothing love cannot heal.
Another instance could be business deals. A lot of people go into businesses with very high hopes and expectations. Yes, they have made their plans and set their goals. They even probably had their ideas burning in their minds fiercely and won't rest until these ideas are brought to light. In all their preparation, the sky is not just their limit but their stepping stone. The excitement of finally taking off is palpable. And then, one error of judgement with that business partner whom you so trusted and everything goes down the drain. All your efforts, plans etc just get blown off!
How do you start again? How do you even recover enough to think of starting again.
But like a fighter, you should rise again and be more determined. If you were able to come up with those ideas before, what makes you think you won't be able to come up with better ones? The good side is that you are more experienced than the first time and now know which pitfalls to avoid.
So, my friend, don't lose hope over every disappointment you have. Get up and take the next bold step that will make you better thna the first or second time. If every inventor gave up after sveral tries, then we would not have so many of the things we take for granted.
