The quote of the day today really struck me and made me think so I wanted to share it with you.
What would you try if you knew you would not fail?
Is there something out there that you have been thinking about??? Is failure keeping you from trying? How about bungee jumping?? Maybe rock climbing? OK, OK, maybe sticking to your budget or couponing, or going back to school.....What is holding you back? Failure can be such a comforting friend. Sometimes I think we do things and fail just because that failure is such a known presence in our lives that it comforts us. But if we knew that we would not fail, if we knew we would succeed, what would we try??? Maybe singing a solo???? Maybe a new diet??? Maybe running a marathon??? Maybe witnessing to someone about Jesus???
What would I do if I knew I wouldn't fail??? Hmmmm....adopt a bunch of orphans from some third world countries orphanage. Or take in a bunch of troubled teens and give them hope and coping skills and a future. Go on the biggest loser!!! Ha ha ha!! Have my own tv show. Get another job and move closer to my family. Open up a scrapbooking store. Write a book. Learn how to fly a plane. Download songs to my telephone. Some simple and some impossible... I might even bungee jump!
