A Chance to Fail

LSPoorEeyorick · 04-07-2005, 05:50 PM

Failure is OK.

I mean, it's never fun. But I moved to California with no job, no friends or family nearby, and no home. I did that with the possibility of failure in mind. I wouldn't say that I've found success in a career to which I aspire, but I have found happiness here.

I'd also agree that I'd like to get my stuff sent off to a publisher. Particularly Yoga for Fat Girls, much of which is off the ground, but much of which I'm a little too scared to share so far.

I'd like to direct again. I have the degree. I have the professional and educational experience. I have to have the trust in myself to come back to it, and the commitment to the time involved.

I heartily agree - but I find this notion, of being given a chance to fail such a charming little though experiment that, at least for me, makes me think about what I stop myself from doing for fear of failure - hopefully this might even encourage me to take some of those risks.

I think it reveals what's already in your power to do, as opposed to fantasizing about that Sugar Daddy - which is perhaps the subject of another thread
