Diane Conway: Author, Speaker, Entertainer, Creative Coach

In some mysterious and profound ways, asking and answering the question "what would you do if you had no fear?" produces a divine flash that sets in motion assistance from out of the blue. I first began asking this question to participants in my workshops and retreats. Many found themselves naming their dreams and desires for the first time–and the results stunned them. No sooner had they spoken their heart’s desire out loud than serendipitous meetings and incidents began to spring up in their life. Some people applied to medical school, others quit soul-numbing jobs, and still others took trips they’d dreamed of for years. A fireman called with the jubilant news that he was taking flying-trapeze lessons. An interior designer fulfilled her life long dream and moved to Rome.

Those who read and ponder this question seem to gain a temporary reprieve from the limits they ordinarily place on their lives.

The stories in this book relate that life-changing flash when you stop wishing, get off the sofa, take a shower, and mail the manuscript, or when you’re honest with a lover while crying and laughing with giddy abandon.

I wrote this book and I grapple with this question because I have been crippled by fears and doubts all my life. Interviewing people and hearing the stories of ordinary heroes have profoundly changed me–their experiences have spurred me on.

When we have a dream it is a real, living thing with a life of it’s own. We don’t always have to be super achievers, or even know how it will come into being. I am a woman with lots of dreams but frequently shaky faith and truckloads of self-doubt and my dream came true. If mine can, yours will also.
