WHAT WOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO DO IF YOU KNEW YOU COULD NOT FAIL?-Canadian Rockies

Life is a journey, and we go thru different stages. When we are younger.........say ten years and under, we can do anything. We are born before the wind, and we are artists, musicians, chefs, policemen, firemen........we can do it all. As we travel down the road of life, and dance thru the teen years, we are still invincible, we are younger than the sun, but we start doubting our talents, our abilities.

Bring on college, marriage, mortgage and kids, we lose our gypsy spirit. We feel we are inadequate, we have no talent, and we fear failure.We long for the gypsy soul, like we had in the days of old.

WHAT WOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO DO IF YOU KNEW YOU COULD NOT FAIL?

Playing guitar, harmonica, picking up a paintbrush, dipping your hands into cold, mushy clay, skiing, biking....cooking an amazing meal from scratch. We all have it in us. We have the talent, the skill....and we will not fail!

A close friend, someone I respect and in many ways view as a mentor in life, reached out to me the other day. Their world is immersed deep into meditation, yoga........a gifted teacher and healer who shares their knowledge freely. This person smells the sea and lets the soul and spirit fly. They follow this blog, and frequently comment on my work, empowering me and uplifting me to reach higher.

My friend sent me a couple of sketches they had created recently. While travelling, they picked up a watercolour travel kit and decided to paint! No lessons, no guide books.......no fear of failing! I love each piece, the subject matter, the colour, the style. I also love the fact they decided to try something new.

What do you want to do but are afraid of failure? Step forward, take a deep breath, and go for it.

You cannot fail.
