The Fool. What I would do with my life if I knew I couldn't fail
If I knew I couldn’t fail, I would live my life with more trust and freedom. I already live with a fair amount of trust—I know that my callings continue to emerge, that already I’m accomplishing many beautiful things, and that whatever comes in the future will come only when I’m willing to take the next step. However, as I imagine how I would live if I knew I couldn’t fail, I can see that there are many ways in which I would live more fully into the life that calls me.
What comes up first for me is that I would share my perspective in my creative projects more freely. I tend to keep my ideas to myself so that I don’t offend anyone. I also like nuance, and I worry that people will misunderstand what I’m trying to express. I could let go of these fears and trust my own voice and honor my unique perspective more fully.
As I think about letting go of fears about how my creative work is received by others, I realize that I could trust myself more in relationships in general. If I knew I couldn’t fail to be surrounded by a supportive community, I would be truer to myself, and I would accept others for who they are. I would let things emerge in their own time. I would share my opinions more freely, not to try to convince anyone of my rightness but to open the possibility for deeper connection and belonging. I would let go of the habit of taking care of other’s feelings and honor their own sovereignty.
I could also shift my relationship to myself and use my time more joyfully. I sometimes fear that I’ll choose to spend my time in an ultimately unhelpful way. Instead I would trust that I can only follow a passion or interest and see where it leads. I would trust that resting, choosing one activity over another, taking a longer time or shorter time—whatever I choose—is the right way to spend my time.
On a related note, I would also trust the timing of my life more. I have many passions that I tend to, but they’re in an intermediate state where I’m learning how to share them with others. I would trust more that I’ll find opportunities to share when the timing is right, and I would focus more on taking each step without worrying about the bigger picture.
