Certainly give it a go.
If you don't succeed, just say to yourself, "I gave it a go, jolly good for me".
If you fail, just say, "Oh well, at least I gave it a go".
If you don't give it a go, but succeed anyway, say to yourself, "I should have given it a go, but never mind because I did it anyway".
If you don't give it a go and fail, just say, "I should have given it a go, but didn't and so may have succeeded if I had. But then again, I could have given it a go and failed, and may have felt worse than I feel now, having not given it a go and failed. On the other hand, I could have given it a go, succeeded, decided that it wasn't what I wanted anyway, and felt worse than I do now, having not given it a go and failed, or if I had not given it a go and succeeded and decided it wasn't what I wanted, and why did I succeed at something that ultimately I didn't even want and didn't even attempt to go for?".
