What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
I was asked this question back in June in a TED conference I attended. People’s answers were truly amazing. Some examples were:
-I would organize a rally against child abuse
-I would stand up to bullies
-I would write that book
-I would speak my truth
You read all these wonderful things and think; What’s holding them back, why don’t they just do it! But now it’s time for you to flip that advice; What is holding me back? What’s stopping me?
Maybe it’s an unsupportive friend or a lack of time or money. Whatever it is, identify it, look it straight in the eye and say, You can’t stop me.
When we identify the very thing that’s stopping us, we become less afraid of it, and we show it who’s boss (hint: YOU’RE THE BOSS GIRLIE!)
This week I challenge you to answer this question:
What would I do if I knew I couldn’t fail?
Then ask yourself,
What’s holding me back?
I suggest writing out these statements and placing them somewhere that you will often glance at. Let them remind you of what you really want. Let them inspire you to dig deeper and dream bigger.
