"What would you do if you knew you would not fail?”I believe this to be a quintessential question that we should all ask ourselves. If answered honestly, it offers insight on where our passions lie but also some of the reasons that have stunted our attempts to chase after a dream or goal that we deem impossible.
Regardless of your age or the point in your life that you find yourself in, it’s never too late for the question to be entertained. The reason being is that we spend a lot of time wondering aimlessly through life in hope that someone we encounter will give us a purpose or some sort of direction. Throughout this great search, one of the things you’ll find is exhaustion without any progression. If we are looking for a purpose, we have to find that within ourselves; we can’t wait our entire life for some kind of sage to give us insight on whom we are meant to be or what we are meant to be, we must be proactive on our journey.
We all have our reservations and I can’t speak for everyone but I can speak for myself when I say this, one of the immediate hurdles that I must clear before pursuing different projects has to do with what I have at stake, what I have to lose? But I guess there isn’t much of a challenge without anything at stake. No excuse holds enough weight to keep you waiting in the wings.

So I challenge everyone to ponder Schuller’s question, what would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail? There’s no use in turning off that light of yours prematurely, let it burn and dream.

From now on, everytime I read an entry I will at least comment, "Maria wuz here - MM/DD/YY," just so you know there is somebody alive out there. Keep writing to us.
This topic is always relevant, and it needs to be brought up often. As inidividuals, fear of failure seems to be one of the most, if not the most, biggest inhibitor of achieving our dreams.
You have made me think about somethings I want to pursue, but I am afraid of the results. I thank you for that!
Keep blogging!

Maria: Just the same, I always enjoy reading all your entries. I feel like I'm there with you. At least, I really should be considering I should be on the road traveling as we previously discussed. Soon we'll met on our travels.
Raf: I think we should always put what's on our mind and hearts at the table, we should never keep those thoughts in silent because we are so capable and deserving of giving our skills and talents a chance, sometimes all it takes is acknowledging those goals and dreams out loud for the motivation to materialize. I really appreciate all your support...I think that's another way we are able to move forward.
thanks the both of you,
