Three simple questions…
- If you knew you could not fail and those around you would not only suspend judgment, but wholeheartedly support you…what would you do?
- Are you doing it?
- If not…why?
Oh, one final question…
- If your reason for not doing something is that you’re afraid of failing or being judged…how much worse would that be than never having tried?
Ponder it ...
And share your thoughts in the comments section...
if you dare…

3. I am waiting until I can devote all of my time to it, because I know something like that would take a ridiculous amount of time to be successful at. I don’t have the time because I really need to finish school, and considering that I only have 1.5 quarters left, it’s more worth my time to just finish it already (plus my parents will murder me if I don’t!) Not to mention I have to do A LOT of research about all the things that go into it, so I’d like to be better prepared before I leap into something this big!
Really great thought exercise though… it definitely made me put some thought into it!
For some it takes a long time to fight that demon and it’s a nasty place to be. To start out knowing you can’t fail, then fail…fail…fail and getting more difficult to keep bouncing back. I just can’t give up though, so see you on the other side.
When I was a freshman in college I tried out for the baseball team during open tryouts and found myself grossly overmatched. Not only that, I was terrible during the three days. So it was no shock when the coach said he wouldn’t be picking me for the team. Fast forward ten years and it’s one of my proudest achievements. I hear so many people looking back and wishing they had at least tried to do this or that and they look at me like I’m a rock star when I tell this story.
So I’ve learned my lesson: do what you gotta do and do it hard.
