I recently came across this question "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?—Dr. Robert Schuller" It made me start to question some choices that I have made in life. Some good and some probably bad. I think that the good Dr. who asked this must have children. Children never have the same fears that we, as adults have. They don't have the fear of failing or not being able to do something because they have an I can do attitude :D I really like this question making me think.....

I am going to attempt running a 5k next year!!! I am going to put my all into making my company work and work full time at making it work; instead of only part-time and holding on to my part-time job.

What would you attempt?????

    I am attempting a small triathlon for the first time in Aug, even though I am a fairly marginal swimmer.

    I would get my pilot's license. It is a silly dream that I've had since i was a little kid.
    Go to graduate school. Learn to ride a motorcycle. Skydiving, bungee jumping, rock climbing, surfing and hang gliding.

    Coming back from absolute death. Seriously. I already know I can do anything else attainable by human standards, and I'm not afraid to do so. I'm also not afraid of failure. So, if I knew I couldn't fail at dying, then I'd want to experience something that nobody comes back from...in the assumption that I wouldn't fail at it.

    - Start a non-profit or an organization that has a positive impact on at risk youth from inner cities
    - Become a BJJ black belt.
    - Finish getting my degree then go back to school again to get my masters degree
    - Be a college professor at a community college

    These are things that i would attempt if i knew i wasn't going to fail...actually i am going to attempt them anyways and if i fail no big deal just keep trying at it and i am sure eventually i will reach my goals.

    Start a school for dyslexic children, that would be affordable. Yep. That's what I would do.
