My friend posted the question that I hate trying to answer.
“What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?”
I hate this question. I’m a hopeless romantic. I love fantasy movies but when it comes to my own life I have a hard time dreaming. The number of times I’ve been told to think of the ‘what’ without the ‘how’ and I’ve completely drawn a blank, can’t be counted.
I know that failure is always a possibility. I’m also learning to have faith again. To have faith in myself and to have faith in the people around me. I’m also learning to have faith in the power of heart, peace, love and community. When I show up prepared and supported, I can move mountains.
If I knew that I could build the business I wanted without failure, I would be able to change the lives of hundreds of women without fear of resources or capability. I would be providing physical and online spaces for women to connect where they could feel seen, safe and completely allowed to be themselves. Instead of asking for discounted and free, I would be able to purchase gifts and race entries and sports bras and shoes for our community so that they could show up in spaces feeling prepared and capable.
I have been successful in the pursuit of my dreams more than I have failed, so I know that I can build. I can work. I can provide. I’m learning to accept the support of the universe and my community. I’m learning to have more faith in my resources and less fear of failure. I’m learning to show up for myself and others.
I’m also learning to help others tune into their own dreams. It may be hard for you to dream also but what if you actually plugged into the community and resources available for you, would you be able to achieve your wildest dreams? If you had more support, encouragement and training, what could you achieve? If you knew that you couldn’t fail, not because someone has a magic wand but because your success would be fully supported, what would you do?
