to start.

Do you remember what the first sentence you wrote as a kid once? No.

Do you remember the first time you successful road your bike as a kid? No.

Do you remember the first project you had for your first "real job" was? No.

So why is it that you are afraid to start new things?

Take on new projects?

Put yourself out there, go to new places, meet new people?

Maybe you are not afraid.

If ^^^ this is you, you are not getting off the hook today.

Why aren't you doing things that you are afraid of?

Why aren't you taking on larger and more complex objectives that you could very much "fail" at?

.

Being courageous does not mean that you have no fear...

To step with courage means that you acknowledge the fears that you have, and yet, you step forward anyway.

So what is it that you know deep down you need to step towards?

Who cares that you are not a professional yet!!!

We all start somewhere.

And today is that day for you!

If you have read this far, I know something you've always wanted to try has come up in your mind.

Stop negotiating with yourself and allowing yourself to get away with not "doing the thing."

Write down what it is.

Set a date you will "start" it by.

And go make it happen.

Behind this message is dozens of other people who will be "doing the damn thing" with you.

LFG!

Happy Monday!

p.s. today I am grateful for all the people I met yesterday at the Sauna/Ice event. It is always so fulfilling to connect and collaborate with people and communities who consistently show up to help one another become better humans.
