What IF: You had no fear of failure?

In my last blog I set up your what IF...in my continuing series on this issue I tackle the what if question in a positive way...what if you could do whatever you wanted to do without any fear of failure? Dr. Dan Erickson hits on this point and others like it in his book Finding Your Greater Yes! Check out his ministry called people matter ministries today!

If we had no fear of failure could we then succeed at our wildest dreams? Fear of failure lies behind so many things we have done and will do in life. When we were young it was in our mind when we thought about jumping in the deep end or riding a bike, as a teen it was there when we looked at that gorgeous boy or girl but were to afraid to engage in a conversation with them let alone ask them on a date, as young adults it was in the back of the brain as we tried to stroll confidently into that first big job interview or that first day at work once we landed the job. So what if we as adults were not afraid to fail? If we could dream big for God and for self and not worry about what the Joneses, Smiths or Browns would say. We would not fret about what our families would think, we would not worry about losing street cred with our friends. But you see Jesus Christ the living God once us to think big!!! To think without IF's to go beyond the box. To chase our dreams not look at them longingly in the distant sunset. God has given us all we need to fulfill the great plans He has for us! Will we tap into Him or run away afraid of the rejection and fear of failure that surely comes for all of us who fear failing. If God has a plan for each of us as Scripture clearly states then we should run it down, jump up and down on top of it and yell and scream at the top of our lungs until we accomplish it, finding it comes first, then the pursuit then the glorious goal line charge that equals arriving at His purpose for our lives. To often we spend our whole life looking and never get a chance to live in our purpose. Don't be another victim of the fear of failure.
