There is a famous question that
shows up, it seems, in every single self-help book ever written: What would you
do if you knew that you could not fail?
But
I’ve always seen it differently. I
think the fiercest questions of all is this one: What would you do even if you
knew that you might very well fail?
What
do you love doing so much that the words failure
and success essentially become
irrelevant:
What
do you love even more than you love your own ego? How fierce is your trust in that love?

Gilbert, page 259.
