What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
In 100 words or less, describe one thing you would make, create, produce, curate, or invest if you knew there was no way you’d mess up. It may seem trivial, but there is a power in ownership and dreaming about possibilities.
So this is it. We’re on this journey together. The quiet thing you’ve been dreaming about, the forlorn goal, the forgotten aspirations… needs to be stated, simply and direct.
Don’t chicken out. Write it. Come on, you know you want to.
I don’t think I really need to state mine – my longing for it is part of my identity. However, I have been thinking on this question the past few days……there’s bigger and better things to be dreaming of. And a better cross section between where my gift meets the worlds need……. many more important things if I would just open my heart to them and if I could figure out my gift.
Have you noticed we usually blog/think about the same things around the same time. I know you’re a Brit and I’m an American, but we sure do think alike 😉
It’s a scary world, isn’t it?! 😉
What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail, Bianca? We’ve shared (well, I haven’t really, but this is a community and there’s no ‘me’ in community (yes I did just check)), now it’s your turn 😀
Buy a farm out in the countryside of Cambodia and turn it into a safe home for children rescued out of trafficking. A relaxed and joyful place, just a home where they would be loved with Christ’s love, educated, well fed. But also a place where there were interesting responsibilities for them to take on, jobs for them to learn like taking care of the animals or growing rice.
You’re onto the adult trafficking side right? 🙂 My focus is more on the little ones.
5 is the prime age for trafficking in Cambodia.
You’re a hippy!!! I love it 🙂 May God bless your dreams and aspirations…
Wow…didn’t realize quite how hippyish that sounded but reading back….then again, you can’t really not be a hippy if you want to live in Cambodia.
ooh..that’s a hard one..i’ve been sort of feeling lost lately so nothing came to mind right away..but after a little bit of thought..(and i feel sort of embarrassed to even type this) i think i would want to produce a christian talk show…something fun, up to date, and helpful to not only christian (mainly women)..but also be able to reach non-believers..nothing would be kept from the topic list…media is such a powerful way to reach people these days…
I LOVE IT! Like a fun version of Oprah… but speaking truth 😉
Write my book. Actually, I’m doing that whether or not I fail.
DO. IT. That is awesome.
PS I went to the bloggers meet up just to say hi to you and Jennifer Schumann, but neither of you were there. I was a bit late so maybe I missed you.
I would write a book and get it published.
I have multiple book ideas rolling around in my head, but putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) means that it could be rejected.
🙂 🙂 🙂
You have a million stories through the life of your family. As an affirmation of your goals, I shared your comment to the group of women I spoke to on Monday and by FAR, your comment in regards to parenting resonated deeply.
I would open a transition house for men and women (and children) transitioning from prison to the real world.
From your lips to God’s ears I hope you do it!
My dream is not a secret but the fear to fail at it, or worse yet, to be successful, is. I pretend to be this confident woman but the truth is I’m terrified. I’m a photographer, or at least I like to think so…I want to be a wedding/portrait photographer. I like stories, I think of photography as a way of story telling, a very beautiful way. That’s what I want to do….tell stories. Make people believe in love again through my lens. Like Disney World, no matter what is going in your life once you step in you forget, you live tha magic. I want people to feel the same way through my photograph but I need to believe my own story,
You and your storytelling dreams are beautiful. Run… run fast and don’t look back.
I’d allow myself to fall in love again and then maybe seek to get married
I love this!!!
Well B, you’ve challenged me to put my thoughts together in a matter of hours. I’ll be back in the a.m. when I figure out how to write it.
I have three main dreams, so I’ll just list one of them. I would like to start a non-profit providing cloth diapers (and cloth-diapering education) for low-income parents. With cloth, the money not spent on disposable diapers can go toward other necessities.
If I knew I could do one thing without failing, it would be to begin an after school program/club in Athens, Georgia out of my own home that would feed, tutor and love on kids who needed it most. I would want kids to be able to come and find physical, emotional, and spiritual nourishment. The kids would learn all about who and whose they are, and they would have a safe place to land outside of their broken home lives and the stresses of school. There you have it, my dream.
I would get out of this relationship that I am unhappy in, because it’s missing Jesus as the centrepiece. But I’m afraid. That I’ll never find someone else to love me, that I’ll hurt the other person after so many years, that I won’t recover, I guess just of the unknown.
My dream would be to make room for the possibility of finding someone that would love me the way Jesus intended in return.
And I would write and perform songs.
Thanks for this.
Create some type of honest system that places foster kids in honest homes.
I would love my own preschool where kids can be kids and not the type of place that demands them to behave and be academically challenged like elementary students. I can dream right?
