What Would You Do If You Couldn't Fail?

I was recently working with my coach and she made me do some journaling on “what would I do if I couldn’t fail?”. At first, I just stared at her with a dramatic look of disdain on my face. LAME is what I was thinking and I told her I couldn’t think of anything.


She threw back an equally dramatic face and told me to just shut up and write. So I did.


it showed so many suppressed dreams and desires


Honestly, I was shocked at what I wrote. I realised there was all of these things that this tiny part of me desperately wanted to strive for but given the risk of failure felt high, I had pushed them away as “silly”, “selfish”, “time-wasting” or “impractical”… whatever excuse landed the easiest. When I read back over the list though, it actually represented so many suppressed dreams and desires.


Imagine a world where fear of failure doesn't exist. What dreams would you chase? What risks would you take? Often, it’s our fear that holds us back, stifling our creativity and ambition. But what if you approached life with the mindset that success was guaranteed?


So here’s my assignment for you.


Grab a pen and start writing. What would YOU do if you couldn’t fail?


Allow your imagination to run free.


Envision dreams without limits.


Embrace experimentation.


it’s often our fear that holds us back from our dreams


Once you’ve worked it out, leave a comment and tell me just one thing you wrote down. Be brave and let that one thing out of your head and into the universe.


Have a great week,

If gifts light you up, it makes sense that you'd want to show love by giving thoughtful gifts, but you must also remember to love your partner in their love language.
