What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Someone asked me this question recently and a few things came to mind. Mostly, it’s okay to fail. Failing often is a sure sign we need to try again or find another way to achieve our goals. We learn a lot from failure.

This being said, to answer the question as it is, at face value, I would say I would write more. I would devote more time to my passion project. Assuming this would also alleviate fear, I would engage in public speaking and share my words with more people. I might also actually attempt all the DIY pins I’ve saved on Pinterest, including baking an amazing cake that looks like a mermaid and turning my husband’s old dress shirts into dresses for my little girls. I have big dreams and smaller ones.

How about you?

    If I knew that I could not fail, I’m not sure that I would do anything. What would be the point?

    I don’t ever think that I will fail. Yet, I fail often enough – horrible habit to overcome – to know I do fail. I’d probably miss failing if I didn’t.

      I’m the opposite. It’s about 50/50 if I think I’ll fail. I’m often wrong which is sometimes refreshing and other times not so much.

    Sign up for NASA to be the first man to set foot on Mars! I’d looooove to do space travel but there’s simply no way I could realistically do it haha
