Your Daily Scare
Almost
every day, we encounter something that scares us—something that makes our heart
race and our palms sweat. This is especially true when we are committed to
learning and growth.
Being “courageous” isn’t
about never being afraid. It’s about being bold
enough to face what scares you, and keep going.
How often do we stop when we come up against something that
pushes us out of our comfort zone? While that reaction is normal, it’s one that
we must overcome, if we want to grow and experience being fully alive.
While
it’s easy to stick with what feels familiar and comfortable, we only grow when we stretch. The more we cultivate the habit of pushing through our
fears, the stronger and more fearless we become. Remember, it’s not about
“never being afraid.” It’s about not letting your fears hold you back.
So go ahead, do one thing today that makes your knees wobble and your heart race. And do another
tomorrow. Before long, you’ll notice fewer things that scare you and more that
excite you!
