How to live my life by answering this question every day: "what would you do if you knew you could not fail?"
It made me
Feel accomplished
 "Painful, drawn-out, ground-breaking, and ultimately worth the struggle."
How I did it: It was a very, very, very long process. You can't just wake up one day and tell yourself that you will say "I will act as if I cannot fail" and then actually act upon it. Lessons & tips: I think the most kep concept is believing in yourself. You need confidence in yourself. I spent years not doing either, so I know what it's like. It's really difficult to live with, and even more difficult to overcome. You'll have to come out of your box first, which means you will be out of your element, awkward, and uncomfortable for a while. You'll just have to deal with that and keep pushing, keep going. And one day you'll realize...hey, look where I am! :) Resources: My best resources were myself. I mean, I had support from my friends, but ultimately this is about YOU believeing in YOURSELF. You can't exactly learn that from other people besides getting support from them. But definately let your friends know what you're trying to do, and they will support you, keep pushing you on, letting you know that this is really something you can do.

How I did it: This is not a goal that is ever done, but I'd like to make room for other goals. It acted as a great reminder for me over the past few months while it took residence in my list.Why fear failure? Why use that as a benchmark in the decision making process of should I or should I not attempt? If the great thinkers in history used this approach in experimenting or implementing change, just think where we would be? For me, I don't think fea… Read how I did it…

This single question captures everything that’s holding anyone back. It is all about fear. It is so simple but so scary. And here I am putting it into the low self-esteem box here, and the lack of confidence box there when ultimatley, it is all about having the bravery to put yourself out there no matter what the results may be. THAT is how you build conifdence. THAT is how you live a full life. I am excited already about testing this out! Thank you for the great question…talk about food for thought :-)
If I could not fail...

I wish I could find a way to sustain myself and my family in a self-employed capacity. Unfortunately, due to the crappy state of health insurance and child care in our country, I don’t think I can accomplish this.
What I could do if I knew I could not fail

I would do so much more. I would make the dress I had intended to make, the earrings I had designed. I would talk to many more people, I would write stories and cook, and read more. i would study for my theory exam. I would learn Spanish.
my reckless conduct

Done, but not the way I would have wanted to…
It would be great to be so courageous, to not let my fears inhibit my thoughts so much. I have moments of that, but very often, I misappropiate this goal and that’s reason for me to clear if off my list. Those moments of strength and steadiness are often interfused with bad decision-making. Reminding myself of this goal sometimes results in mere recklessness – by way of arguing, “if I can convince myself (on occasion) that I cannot fail, I might as well take it easy and not panic”. But sometimes a little panic might do me good, and, who knows, even help me better when I need to follow through with something…

What would I do if I knew I could not fail??
7 months ago
I would believe in myself.
I would hold out and not cave in… I would honor myself enough to have self-discipline.
I would stop making excuses if I could just stop second-guessing myself.
Better Already!

In trying to answer this question, I’m pin pointing all of the insecurities I never knew I had. Even if I don’t accomplish all of those items, keeping this goal in mind will help me overcome a general fear of failure.
It’s comforting to think that there is not one single person on earth who will not fail at something. Anyway, is failure always such a terrible thing? I’ve learned something from every failure I’ve experienced.
Heck. I feel better already. :-)
