Journal Challenge Day 5: What Would You Do If You Knew You Wouldn't Fail?
I think the obvious answer is definitely to play the lottery right? So I'd buy a shit-ton of tickets and be set for life. In all honesty though, I don't think there is much I wouldn't do I failure wasn't an option. I've always had a fear of failure and I'm not entirely sure where that stems from because my family has always been very supportive of what I set out to do.
I think I would play more sports if I felt that way, like I would be accepted and be good at whatever I'm doing. I was a dancer when I was younger, I danced for a long time, and then we moved. I tried to get back into it but if you've ever been the new kid you know that the school groups and cliques have already forme and I didn't feel like the school I went to was very welcoming. It was a lot of rich mucky-muck families and I didn't come from a life like that and didn't really fit in. My friend group was an open-selection of beautiful misfits. There was a dance studio close to my house and I tried that but I felt the same way there. I should've stuck it out, and ignored the fear but I didn't. I probably missed out on a lot because of that.
If I knew I would excel maybe I would've gone back to school sooner. I've now applied and been ACCEPTED to Arizona State so I'm extremely thrilled about that. It also helps that I've finally pinpointed a career path that I want to follow.
Before this year I didn't do much just for me and I think that's how I lost myself, I've done a lot of things out of my comfort zone and some of its been scary but I don't want to miss out on anything life has to offer just because it's scary or intimidating.
That's all I can really think of to answer that question. I would do just about anything if I knew
I could. Maybe the point to this question is to get us to realize that failure doesn't have to be an option, or maybe that it just doesn't matter if you fail. If you really want something and you try your hardest to achieve, I'm sure you'll get there eventually. At least the process leaves you with memories and good or bad you still learned something.
As Always, thanks for reading.
