Act As If It Is Impossible To Fail - Episode 104

“The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.” — Henry Ford

Often times, our fear of failure keep us from trying something new or embarking on following our dreams. And yet, many of life’s greatest successes happen just a few steps beyond our perceived defeats. Acclaimed author, Paulo Coelo, wrote, “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

Living your life as if it is impossible to fail was a challenge put forth by Vibrant Living founder Glenn Brooks. The idea originated in 1936, during the Great Depression, when author Dorthea Brande penned the book “Wake Up And Live”.  Her formula for success  was simple — “Act as if it’s impossible to fail.” On this episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael explore how thinking differently can empower us to act upon a dream, an idea, a business venture, a relationship or anything else we truly desire. We will be sharing how the inspiration we might need might be found in asking ourselves the question of what would we attempt to do if we knew we could not fail. In the asking of this powerful question, we just might discover the answer in the realm of unseen possibilities where we allow ourselves to find courage, to think newly fresh, and from a completely different perspective.

Dorthea wrote this about her illumination, “Every aspect, attitude, relation of my life was altered. At first, as I say, I did not realize that. I only knew, with increasing certainty from day to day, that at last I had found a talisman for counteracting failure and inertia and discouragement and that it worked . . . We all live so far below the possible level for our lives that when we are set free from the things which hamper us so that we merely approach the potentialities in ourselves, we seem to have been entirely transfigured.” The time is now for each of us to live our lives as if it were impossible to fail, it is time to think differently, put ideas into action, whatever we can dream, we can achieve!  Pure potential awaits us all!
