What would you do if you thought that you could not FAIL?

It's an interesting thought isn't it?! What would you do if you thought that you could not fail?!
If failure was not possible would you:
-Learn to Fly a Plane?
-Learn another Language?
-Move to another City?
-Move to another Country?
-Quit the Job that you dislike and start your own business?
-Go Sky-diving, bungy jumping or learn to sail?
-Ask someone you admire out for dinner?
-Become an entrepreneur?


The options are limitless! So what holds us back? 
I think it could mostly be put down to 2 main things:
1: Fear
2: Limiting Beliefs


Your fear could be: fear of failure, fear of being made fun of, fear of starting something new, fear of not being good enough, the list is endless! And with those fears come the associated Limiting Belief. The fear of starting something new could relate to a limiting belief that you don't have value, you're not educated enough, you don't have the capital required, you may think that you're too old to start something new. 


So how do we get to a place where we can overcome these fears and thoughts to free ourselves to give it a try regardless?
Our self talk and awareness of it will be a great place to start. Even recognizing and catching our thoughts will begin to put us in a place to question the thought, "is this thought really true?". Journalling has been a very empowering way for me to sort my thoughts and question the chatter in my mind, getting things down on paper helps the mind to clear. 
Having a very clear vision of what we want to achieve is also paramount. There is a great saying "When you take your eyes off of your goals that's when obstacles appear - Keep focussed on what you want! Finding evidence that we can succeed is also a great step. Maybe you're 60 and feel that you are too old to embark on a new venture. Look for evidence that other 60yr olds and even older have started something new.


Colonel Sanders started his Kentucky Fried Chicken stores in his 60's

At age 70 in 1776 Franklin played an instrumental role in drafting
and signing the Declaration of Independence.
Winston Churchill failed sixth grade. He was defeated in every election for public office until he became Prime Minister at the age of 62. 

If they can do it, who's to say that you can't?! Your goals may not be as lofty as becoming president, however, you can still get started!

I worked in Aged-Care before becoming an entrepreneur and many of the elderly people that I interacted with daily regretted that they hadn't spent more time trying new things, exploring new places, having more fun and time with loved ones and that they wished they had not taken life so seriously.

We have only one shot on the planet that we know of!!

Why not give it a go? Why not start small and just see what you can do? Start to write the book a page a day, investigate one new opportunity a day until you find the one that is the right fit for you.

But whatever you do, just give it a go!!! You'll be glad you did... I know I was!!
