What If the Universe asked you this question; “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?”
Posted by MichaelAug 15

“What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” If the Universe asked you this question, how would you answer?
Walking out of the movie theater after seeing “Eat, Pray Love” with Leslie on Friday night, I found myself thinking about the main characters unique journey of heartbreak and discovery as Eddie Vedder’s great song about awakening, ”Better Days” played in the background; a simple question came to me….”What would people do if they knew they could not fail?”
Honestly, the first and rather shallow idea that jumped into my head happened to be “arrange a tour with Eddie Vedder and Leonard Cohan and call it the Soul-Spirit tour!” I laughed and blew it off.
Later on when I shared the idea with Leslie, while pointing out how far fetched it was; her immediate response was that she could totally see it happening; or at least getting them both on a radio interview together and see where it goes from there. Now this, I could imagine! Can’t you? If I never asked the question AND never shared it with another, this idea would not be alive and have no possibility! I think the “secret” might be the one-two punch of having a concrete answer and sharing it with someone who can see the possibility with you.
What if the evolution impulse of the Universe, which I call love, desires you and I and others to ask this very question, share our answers with others and see what happens? What would be the harm? What could be the possibilities? Whether Leonard and Eddie go on tour together or not, the question and the sharing of its answer seems to be consistent with the evolutionary impulse of love in action!
So, What would happen if you asked yourself the question RIGHT NOW and shared your answer with at least one other?
“What is one thing that you would do if you knew you could not fail?”
So far…
- I’ll go first so you get the idea of the range from the global to the personal to the quirky idea: “Teach the the whole world how to remove the blocks to WHOLENESS in my lifetime; Write and perform a relevant song that causes tears, laughter and passionate-compassionate action; Oh-yeah; Have Leonard Cohen and Eddie Vedder go on tour and perform together.”
- Collin Tipping has said “A world of Radical Forgiveness by 2012.
- Leslie said; ”A world of inner of inner peace and outer aliveness through body awareness.”
- Ellie Harold said; “My oil landscape paintings are showing and selling successfully in galleries in New York, Chicago, Boston, Seattle and San Juan by the end of 2012. My book “Painting Outdoors” on every outdoor painter’s bookshelf inspiring a spiritual approach to landscape art.”
- Goran said; “I would be in my spiritual commune/poly family and we would do workshops and retreats and such.
- Bob said; “Solve all to the world’s problems.”
- Janice said; “Through dancing, dancing, dancing we would all experience heaven on this earth.
- Others have said;
- “Walk on water” ( why not if we could, right?)
- “Be a successful author.”
- “Have my dying mother of 78 live to 108.”
- “To have the body of a god…,not Buddha
- Robert, an attorney and businessmen said he’d compose great-non commercial music.
What is one thing that you would do if you knew you could not fail?
Please comment, forward, tweet, re-tweet or in some way pass your answer and THE QUESTION along?
Thanks!
To your Wholeness!

What is a conscious-loving relationship? Simply put, a relationship that recognizes and acts upon the awareness that you came together for a sacred purpose and that purpose is to help each other become more whole. Yet so often the opposite seems more true. Why is this? The answer lies in the unconscious ego based reactive patterns rooted in our unmet needs from the past. The opportunity is in allowing the love that is present within the relationship to heal the wounds that are the source of the patterns.
