I was at a wedding a while back, and I saw old friends I haven't seen in years. I drove back from the wedding with a friend, and we talked about old times, and she told me about her life and how she had been. I talked a bit about how I’ve been unsatisfied with my job/career, and how I just haven't felt fulfilled. She posed this simple question to me that has stuck in my craw for the past few weeks, "If you couldn't fail, what would you do?"

It's interesting how my perception of life and career has changed. When I was younger I was driven by the idea of being successful. If I could get a good job, and start a successful career I’d be all right. However, I now realize, its not what's on my resume that makes me successful, it's what's in my heart and mind.
