Wow.
This question definitely got me thinking.
How many things do we not attempt to do because of the fear of failure?
For me … A LOT.
It’s the whole reason I got my degree in teaching. I knew I was good with children. I knew I loved children. I knew kids loved me. I knew that I would be a good teacher. And, I was confident and have always been confident in my teaching ability. It was safe.
I always dreamed about being a ballerina, a famous actress, and singer, but didn’t pursue any of those outside of high school because I knew there were so many others better than me. So, what was the point? It was safe to stick with teaching.
It’s easier to attempt to do things that we know we’re good at. And, it’s even more easy to step back and let someone else do the things that we may think we’re not the best at. Then we have no worry, no stress, no problems. Easy peasy.
But, a lot of times, God has called us to do the very things we’re afraid to do. (Not always though … if you can’t sing or dance worth a lick, He probably didn’t call you to that.) 
Just look in the Bible. When we don’t find our confidence from our own abilities, it forces us to rely on Him for everything.
Hmmm … what WOULD I attempt?
What would you attempt?
