Message From the Portland Local President

Lately I really don’t fear failure at all. “What if” and “why not” have become everyday parts of my life. When you sit back and evaluate “what is the worst that could really happen,” your answer may surprise you.

Inaction on things we dream about or desire is usually based in fear. Fear of failure. So what does failure really look like? What does it look like for you? It is different for everyone, and until you analyze your own situation you won’t know where you stand. I’ve found when I analyze where I stand these days, I find myself standing on the precipice of possible.

This is my hope for all of you for 2022 and beyond: To find yourself on the precipice of possible, and let yourself soar.

I simply do not want to look back on my life and say I never tried, and I mean really tried, fearlessly tried. I encourage you right now ask yourself, “What if “ and “Why not”.
