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?
