What Would You Attempt To Do If You Knew You Could Not Fail?

It's a fair question.

My answer? Launch a freelance writing career. Yup, that would be ideal. The ability to write on any subject, where I want (my front porch) and when I want (night owl). What stops me? The fear of failure, I suppose. Isn't that a shame?

How about you? What's your answer and what's stopping you?

Great question. Have to admit I really wanted to tell you your excuse was lame - and then you made me think long and hard when I asked myself the same question.

The Why didn't I? or Why can't I?
and then sometimes the answer is you just have to be nice and give yourself a break.

... and then do what you want to do anyway. G'head. Why not?

(Yes, there's a post coming down the road.)

I would attempt to heal people. Or are we talking about things that are theoretically humanly possible?

Jim--I'm going to repeat my twitter request from earlier today: post, post! Really curious to see where you're coming from and where you're headed with this topic. I have a feeling we'd all benefit from the insight:)

Oh, and my excuse is totally lame--but it's honest!

largesse--I was going for things that are theoretically humanly possible. But depending on how you look at it, healing people is.

I would start a blog as successful and well written as the one I am now reading. But hey, you are my niece and what am I gonna say!
