  1. I like your thoughts on this quote Debbie. I think you bring much more depth & reality to it. It’d be a rare person who would plough ahead without the slightest doubt that things will all work out to plan. No harm to be realistic but also positive. Thanks so much for sharing with candid cuddles x

  2. Yes, I agree, what terrible advice! Then why bother doing something if you expect to fail? I vaguely remember a quote kind of related to this from a Maya Angelou book, I think it was something her grandmother used to say, something like “Hope for the best and be prepared for the worst”, which I think is better advice. Hopefully I didn’t completely misremember it! #CandidCuddles

    I think it is better to go into something mentally prepared but planning to succeed. It’s so negative to expect failure all the time. Very much agree with your post! xx #happydays

  4. There is definitely a fine line between protecting yourself from disappointment and not putting your all into something because you are sure you will fail – and then of course you will. Best to throw yourself in – as my mum would say. ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for sharing this #candidcuddles
