Motivation Monday: What Would You Attempt to Do If You Knew You Could Not Fail
I’m sure
much like myself you have sat down at some point in your life and written out
your goals. You’ve looked at them and then did nothing. Fear of the unknown is
quite scary. It can be down right crippling sometimes and keep us from going
after our dreams. But what is it that we’re afraid of? The number one thing
that comes to mind is “failure”. We fear that we will fail and all of the
people that never believed in us will laugh and say, “I told you so”.
What if we
couldn’t fail? I know there is always a possibility of failure and that’s fine
but lets talk hypothetically for a moment. What if we couldn’t fail and we knew
it? Then what? Would we then go for what we want? Would our hopes and dreams
seem easier to grasp? If we felt like we couldn’t fail then we would get off
our asses and make life happen. That’s what I think. So let’s throw caution to
the wind, tell fear to take a hike and ignore the naysayers.
Starting
today lets do at least one thing that will get us closer to our goals. We’ll
take baby steps together and we will not be afraid because failure is not an
option.
That question is a doozy!!!! "Get off our asses and make life happen," I love that. Thanks for the encouragement (:
ReplyDeleteGreat question!! I have a curious personality so I always try everything (career-wise). I am more afraid of what I will miss if I don't try. I would say 99% of the time it pays off. I am a firm believer in forward motion.
ReplyDeleteThis is something I am trying SO hard to adhere to--throwing caution to the wind and just doing me. what have you got to lose by trying? NOTHING!! :)
