I just found your blog today and read this post… great writing btw.

But really, what’s so horrible about failing? Everyone fails. If don’t do b/c of fear of failing we would never walk. We would never run, we would never love, and we would never grow.

If I knew I wouldn’t fail? I wouldn’t try. What’s the point? I already know I can do it, why bother trying to find out?

Wow…if I knew I wouldn’t fail? Write that book (or two) I’ve talked about since I was 13.

I soooo understand about the whole not-going-to-work or not-going-to-work-out (relationship). Been there, done that. Zillions of times. Yes, zillions.

Mine is the fear of failure and of giving up too soon and missing what benefit might have been. I think don’t things are always meant to be easy, so just because it’s a struggle doesn’t mean it’s time just yet. I guess the balance of knowing when it’s okay to give up and move on vs. being a lazy ass. I went through this with my divorce and I remember a friend saying, “Becky, you’ve done everything you can. You’ve done more than most of us would have. No one will think less of you for leaving this situation.”

Wow. I wish I was at that point about a certain something.
Bravo to you Sizzle for taking that leap.

Honestly? I would sell everything and see the world, coming home to Canada to see loved ones often.

If I could leap and not fail, I’d follow my gut, leave this dead end relationship, open my own business, and create massive happiness for myself via friends, yoga and baking.

Good luck with finding your nirvana.

Change can be scary — but then again, so’s everything worth having. :) You’ll sort out something great and in the meantime, here’s to mental health days!

Wow, if I could not fail…so many things I’d like to try. I’m pretty neurotic though and am good at self-sabotage. I’d be so wrapped up in trying to figure out what the catch was…what was the guarantee that I couldn’t fail. Oy. Well, best of luck to you. I think your head is on pretty straight.
