Someone asked me that question last week, and I was dumbfound unable to answer. The question can up after he asked “What is stopping you from living your dreams? What would you need to pursue your dreams? What’s your safety net?”

Then I thought, GOOD QUESTION? What is my safety net, what do I need to feel secure before I make that jump? Have you ever thought about this? Are you doing what you can to build your safety net so that you can live your dreams to their full extent?

Off the top I think my safety net is enough income to cover my basics, that would give me enough confidence that I could leave my job and follow my true calling.

Courage allows the successful woman to fail- and learn powerful lessons-from the failure- so that in the end, she didn’t fail at all.
- Maya Angelou

When chasing your dreams, I have learned the most important lesson EARLY ! You cannot be afraid of failure. I struggled with this a lot as I was so afraid to fail that I made myself anxious with the thought of failing. Somehow, I associated failing with negativity. With time, I came to learn that failure is only negative if you look at it that way. When you muster up the courage to undertake something, you have to be willing to fail, if only to learn from it and get back up again. It’s inevitable. Failure can be very positive if you chose to see it in that light. With every failure, there is a lesson to be learned. There is an opportunity to grow and to improve. Just like Dr. Maya Angelou demonstrates in this quote, if you learn to see your failures as an opportunity to grow, then you have never failed.

Very great quote !!!
