What would you try........if you were guaranteed not to fail?

How many things are on your list?

what does failure mean to you? what does it smell like? sound like? does it have a shape? a size?

I don't even like the word! To me its not failing, its just not getting it right the first time, or sometimes the second time, real challenges can take five, six or more attempts.

But that feeling when I get there, that feeling when I have done it! achieved it! made it! overcome it!

THAT FEELING :-) is bigger, better, louder, brighter greater than any description i could give to how I felt before I embarked on the task. The feeling far outweighs the frustration I felt at attempt two, or the exhaustion I felt at attempt four. The feeling is a hundred times better than how I felt just before attempt five where I had convinced myself I didnt really need to do this.

Achievement, movement, progressing, learning, trying..... can never be described as failure.

In fact I am only using the word failure as it is within the quote.

Sometimes, some people dont even attempt or try - so that technically cant be classed as failure. Unless you count the failure to them selves for not trying.

Dont you think we owe it to ourselves to 'try' and if we dont get it right the first time, try again and again and again. Every time you dont get it right you learn a little bit more.

Imagine if you were trying to throw a ball into a bucket, on the first attempt you throw the ball and it goes way past the bucket. When you take the second throw, you instinctly put less power behind that throw because you have learnt already that too hard, lands too far away.

So go back to the question what would you try, if you were guaranteed not to fail? and now realise that you only fail when you give up!

Wishing you a Peaceful sleep and a Happy Monday
