What’s something I would attempt if I was guaranteed not to fail? There are so many things 🙂 A marathon, maybe.

But life doesn’t work that way. We never know what is going to succeed or fail. It’s more like our job is to do “the work” whatever that looks like. Letting go of success and failure, letting go of any attachment to results, that’s what gives us the freedom to try new things. Maybe the way I want to think about it is this- what things excite me? What do I love to do? Because the very act of doing those things is success. Taking the time to show up and write, for instance. To do that project. Make that pitch.

It’s fun to contemplate what I would do if success were guaranteed, but it’s even more fun to just do those things that I really want to do.
