It has been a while since I posted! Something came up that kept me from sharing my thoughts. I picked this prompt because there is no single answer; it could be career, travel, or anything. Let’s dig in.
There are so many ways I want to answer this question. There are many knee-jerk reactions I want to spit out at once. Become a baker at an inn a la Gilmore Girls, get a Master’s degree in Marketing Psychology, live in a different city, write a book, and I would travel to every country and continent. There are endless ideas when the removal of failure is an option.
Recently, on a podcast I am subscribed to, the two hosts talked about how failure should not be seen as a terrible feat. To sum up the conversation, they said if you aren’t failing you aren’t learning. Without learning nothing would change, nothing would be invented.
Thinking about this prompt is inspiring because it makes me realize there is not a lot of fear of failure. I will learn, try again or I will only learn. No one will be mad at me and nothing could go terribly wrong with proper research and preparation. Heck, maybe in the research phase, I get comfortable with failing.
I would also play the lottery.
Danielle.
