"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default."
J. K. Rowling,

If You Could... What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail? That's a popular buzz question currently making the rounds of motivational workshops, life coaching, and the like. I call it the Failure Question. The intent behind it is to help people discover what's holding them back from doing and having what they really, truly, deep down, want. In many if not most cases, that question isn't appropriate to the circumstances simply because failing isn't always the issue. At least not in the beginning of any attempt for change. Nor is it the only issue. In fact, it's a very small percentage of the many reasons why people stay stuck in less than desirable circumstances and situations. Usually the reasons most people have for not even beginning to attempt something new and challenging has nothing to do with failing. Other obstacles get in their way before they even begin to consider that they might fail. The fear of failing often occurs to people only after they've stepped into action, if it occurs to them at all. Failing can be such a vast concept for many that they don't even recognize it as something that might happen to them. It's sort of like the "can't see the forest for the trees" adage. Most of the unseen barriers that keep people from moving toward their dreams are much more specific and much more relative to their own circumstances and situations than an over-all, grandiose failure. When the Failure Question is reworded using more specific and appropriate reasons for staying frozen in stuckness, suddenly long buried dreams are unveiled... brought forth into the light of possibility. Now and only now can the dreams be nurtured so they might grow into reality. Here are some examples of new, more specific versions of the Failure Question:
What are your examples of this question? Love, ps. An Inner Journey: Living Your Life Purpose online class has one whole section devoted to overcoming fears. It's only $9.11. So, what's stopping you?
My Spirit Guides have once again nudged me (actually, kicked me in the butt was more like it) in a new direction. I'm transforming all the in-person classes I used to teach into online classes. Why am I doing this? When Spirit talks, I listen. And in doing so I discovered that there are many benefits for anyone who wants to learn more about spiritual and metaphysical things. One HUGE benefit is that you have the freedom of being able to take the classes when and where you want! Can't you just see yourself cozied up with your laptop or iPad on the sofa, the music of your choice playing in the background, your favorite tea or coffee close at hand... and you totally comfy in your sweats or jammies! Or maybe you're at the beach enjoying the sun, the view, and your online class! How can it get any better?!? Here's the first of these online classes in all their splendiforous glory:
Whew!. But wait... there's more! Stay tuned for some new classes I've recently been inspired to create. Essential Oil of the Month Elemi (Canarium luzonicum) is a member of the same botanical family as frankincense and myrrh. It has been used traditionally in Europe for skin care. Elemi is highly regarded for reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles, skin support, and for soothing muscles after exercise. Its medical properties are antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiseptic. The aroma of this oil is spicy, incense-like with a scent that is soft and somewhat balsamic. The fragrance is grounding and clears the minds, so it's very conducive toward meditation. It's a natural, healthy way to refresh the stale air in your house. Rather than spraying toxic chemicals around your home, add a few drops of Elemi to water in a spray bottle. You'll save money and have a healthier home, too! Additional suggestions of how to use it:
Young Living oil is steam distilled from the leaves and stems of 100% organic plants. Unlike other brands of essential oils, there are no chemicals used in the processing of the plants. Nor are there chemicals or other ingredients added to dilute or damage the natural healing properties of the oils. Order
