What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?

There are still so many unfulfilled dreams in my life it would be hard to choose only one thing. However since becoming bipolar I have always wanted to be an advocate for the mentally ill. Not just a small time advocate but another Dorthea Dix. Now that lady did great things. That would be the great thing I would attempt if I knew I could not fail. So how about you? What would you attempt? Remember, you cannot fail.

I've always wanted a flying saucer. I'd build it first and then fly away in it. It would go so fast I could get there and back before dinner. Perhaps I'd dip down by your place and we could go together! would you trust an older man? I mean to be alone with him in a Flying saucer?

That is a very difficult question for me as I don't see failure as "failure" but more of a test, a challenge for the human spirit to overcome. I think I would be very bored if everything was guaranteed to succeed the way I wanted it to, because maybe my mind would want it to be that way, but would my true Self gain from it? The biggest "failure" I can see in life is that if you ask somebody, "what do you want if it is guaranteed you will get it?" they usually become 'struck dumb' and don't really know. :-)

If I could I would like to be a court appointed consevator for someone or more than one person. I use to be in nursing before I became disabled and I would see the patients come in who had consevator's, the consevator's would not even see the patients and they would just give us permission over the phone to do procedures. They did not know these patients. I felt this was terrible and unjust for the patient. Most of these patients could not speak for themselves and had no family so some stranger would say yes to anything the Dr wanted to do to them. I want to speak for these people who cannot speak for themselves. I want to let these people be left alone to die naturally or confortably and not have a lot of tests or procedures that will not be worth anything in the long run.
