What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.
View all responses

I’ve always been fascinated by circus acts and magic tricks. I’ve been to a couple of Cirque Du Soleil shows and was blown away by what they were capable of doing.

So if I could pull something off, with nil chance of failure, I would walk a tightrope that was suspended between two sky scrapers in NYC.

I can’t even imagine the exhilaration.

I’d wear a cute little dress with tulle under the skirt and leotards. I’d carry one of those balance poles as I made my way cautiously but confidently, from one side to the other.

Imagine knowing you wouldn’t fail?! That’s something.

    Ugh. I borrowed a neighbors ladder once to paint our 3rd-floor attic gable vents. Was OK until I looked down. Suddenly had rubber legs and almost told Sue to call 911 bc I couldn’t get down 😂 Can’t imagine being the Twin Towers walker. Great goal! 😎

      Lol 😂
      But if you absolutely knew falling wasn’t going to happen, like 110% success, the legs might do you proud!

    Wow, you have the spirit! Well, I suppose it’s easier if you’re not gonna fall, but still, to even WANT to do it, you are out there CJ!

    I seem to be doing those things in my dreams every now and then and I ALWAYS fall…

        I know, but I don’t think it would cross my mind as something to do. You have this want underneath to perform!

    What a beautiful and vivid image. That’s the very essence of magic—not just the act itself, but the unparalleled freedom and artistic expression that would come from the absolute certainty of success.

    To perform such a daring feat, stripped of all fear, and to do it with your own unique style and grace… that’s a powerful thought. It would be a pure, unadulterated moment of art and human spirit, high above the world.

    Thank you for sharing that.

    That’s a good one! Even if I knew I couldn’t fail, that still would scare the sh*t out of me!

        Especially the top one. I’m not sure if those are strawberries or chocolate truffles, but either way, it looks yummy.
