Only One Way To Know
This was what I told my wife when she asked me about cooking and selling her dishes.
The Covid-19 pandemic was terrible but was also good at some points. It helped my wife to have time to find recipes she likes, and she can cook them all. One day, after our lunch, she asked me: “If I cook and I sell dishes to others, do you think people will buy and eat them?”. I replied: “Well, I will say that there is only one way to know. Do it, and see the result.”
It is true. You never know what you can do, or how far you can go if you do not try. Sometimes we need to get out of our comfort zone to challenge ourselves.
Taking risks is the spice of life.
If you are bored with the current job, but you are not sure if you can do anything else, it is only one way to know: quit the current position and apply for a new one. The new job maybe not as good as the former one, but at least you try to see how the new job is fitting you, and what you can do.
If you are not sure if you can be a successful stock investor or not, there is only one way to know: pour some money into the securities market. You can lose money, like many other individual investors. However, you will know if you can survive with such investment or you needed to stop.
If you want to be a writer, a blogger, but you are afraid of no one will read your writing, it is only one way to know: write and publish, and wait for reactions. It can be tough when in the first few posts, you are not noticed, but at least you tried to express your opinions to the world.
Our life is a sequence of choices. I always tell myself that. We always have a choice to live a ‘safe’ life, but when you get older, at some moments we may regret not doing something. Something we would like to do, but we do not dare to test yourself.
We should not let our older version be regret of the past. If we are not sure if something is fit for us, try it, no one knows if we could find a happier life. Your choice will decide if you would feel regret or satisfactory in the future.
Are you uncertain of doing something? There is only one way to know.
