If You Gotta Fail, Fail BIG
I think it was about this time last year that I wrote about going after big, hairy, audacious goals (BHAG's), because who wants to fail at something mediocre! If you attempt something spectacular that could really change your life, at least you will have spectacular lessons learned, even if you fail.
BUT . . .
What if it all went RIGHT?
What if you achieved that impossible dream?
What if, after deciding and committing and working your butt off, the breaks went your way?
How cool would that be? How would your life be different if you achieved that BHAG? How many possibilities would open up for you? Where would you go, what experiences would you have, who would you meet?
Last question: What's stopping you?
Here's my answer: whenever I can't seem to make progress towards a goal, it's usually because of fear.
But not fear of failure. If I'm honest with myself, and really try to understand my feelings when I'm stalled on a project, the fear I feel is because of who I will have to become and how I will have to 'grow' to achieve that goal! I will have to 'step up' and become the person that is worthy of achieving that goal.
This means stepping out of your comfort zone. It means learning new ways of thinking and doing. And sometimes that's scary.
BUT . . . what if it all went right?
Behold the turtle in his shell; he only makes progress when he sticks his neck out.
Happy New Year
