The Gift

this is an excerpt from "The Gift" - a chapter in the forthcoming book by Barry Lee Harwood!

What would you attempt do if you knew you couldn’t fail? If your eyes were fixed on a dream in your heart and you were fully persuaded there was no way you would experience failure … what course would you follow? If there were no doubt you would succeed; how would you proceed? How would the certainty of success affect your mood and attitude? I’m not talking about being granted “three wishes” by a magic genie in a bottle and I’m not talking about winning the lottery. I’m talking about pursuing purpose and destiny; executing a plan. I’m talking about “walking the walk “and “talking the talk” that makes dreams come true. Doing the work and putting forth the effort – doing what you’ve never done to obtain something you’ve never had. I’m talking about following a real dream that burns in your heart – a “for real” desire that drives you night and day and gives you a “reason for being” – an objective and purpose for your life; not only with a predetermined outcome but the absolute assurance of succeeding! I’m talking about the reality of pursuing a dream and knowing for certain that the dream would come true without hindrance! How different would your life be if failure were not an option?
What are you trying to accomplish now; at this time in your life? What hope do you have in your future? Where does your hope come from? What gift do you bring to the world’s table? Where does the gift come from? What is your predestined purpose and whose purpose do you serve each day; is it the Cosmos or the Creator of the Cosmos? Discovering our purpose in life gives us the necessary motivation to move forward but how do we arrive at a place of believing we cannot fail? If you were certain that you wouldn’t fail; how would it affect your life?
