Whether or not I suffer from writer\u2019s block, it provides excellent, thought-provoking questions. One of the daily sparks I received this week asked, \u201c<em>If you knew you couldn\u2019t fail, what would you do?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We often stop ourselves from doing the things that get us excited because we start to think about why it won\u2019t work. We don\u2019t want to fail, and we\u2019re afraid that our friends and family may think less of us. Maybe we\u2019ve judged others for failing and are fearful that what they say about karma is true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of fearing failure or seeing it as a negative, I\u2019ve decided to treat any failures as a lesson. I don\u2019t want to live a life full of regret. There are many things I wish I had done differently, but I know that if I made those choices, my life would be completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been putting off doing something because you\u2019re afraid of failing, consider what you can do to minimize your chances of failing. It\u2019s one thing to fail when you haven\u2019t prepared or planned ahead, and it\u2019s different when you\u2019ve done all you can, and things don\u2019t work out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My husband and I are relocating to a new country. We don\u2019t have any family there, but it\u2019s where we want to be. I\u2019m grateful to be with someone who is the opposite of me. I still sometimes worry about what will happen if things go wrong, but he is fearless. His faith in a higher power doesn\u2019t allow him to doubt if things are happening as they should. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is one of those people who don\u2019t believe failure is an option. Even when things don\u2019t look like they are going how we\u2019d like, he always finds a silver lining that puts my mind at ease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think I was more fearless when I was younger (aren\u2019t we all?). I\u2019m working on deprogramming myself and healing from the perceived failures of the past. I\u2019m excited to see where life takes me in this next chapter of my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we head into the next half of the year, I will approach everything I do with the mindset that failure isn\u2019t a possible outcome. How about you? Are you ready to shake off the fear of failure? \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I must say I appreciate my Daily Spark from Brainsparker.
