A long time ago, I was asked a pretty poignant question that has changed my life. No really, it did. Believe me, I’m not one to say such things very lightly and so I’d love to share it with you.
Now, I’m sure some of you are thinking, “Oh come on girl, please share. I need a double order of life change.” Others of you however are thinking, “Wait Mary, are you going to get all Dr. Phil on us with this life change stuff?” Don’t worry, I don’t have a mustache and I currently have all my hair on my head…hoping neither of those change. Though I can’t deny that being called Dr. Mary would be pretty awesome, being your personal self-help guru is not my plan. At least not today…
No, my hope is that for some of you this question will provide what it provided for me. A nudge. A reality check. A confrontation with your dreams. A chance to take a leap of faith. Because you see, no matter how you answer this question, it’s worth taking a moment (just a moment) to consider this. Who knows, you may find, like I did, that it’s worth the risk.
So, now I ask you, “What would you do if you could not fail?”
Think about it.
(No joke I opened my Dove chocolate just a few weeks after being asked this question, only to find this reiterated. God has a sense of humor I think. He likes to drive certain points home. I now keep this as a reminder. Thanks Dove for your words of wisdom…and for your iniquitously delightful chocolate.)
Happy Friday!
