This year I vowed to do one thing each month I was afraid of.
January:ecstatic dance
February:signing up for a home exchange and planning an impromptu trip
March: going to an outdoor spa in Iceland !
Grant it , I was both intrigued and scared . All of these activities are a mixture of intrigue and fear.
But the more I commit to this mini project, the more proud I feel of myself. I am surrounded by interesting and amazing people I may have never been exposed to. I’ve formed fabulous stories, all in trying to overcome fear on various levels.
I begin to question what else is holding me back.
I realise I have mini fears of many things. Yesterday , when we came upon a frozen lake and I saw people walking and sliding on it, fear arose. What if the frost cracked and we fell in.
But fear was replaced by opportunity.
Kids have no fear , at what age does that arise for us? There is a question many leaders ask themselves …”what would you do if you weren’t afraid?”
Take action, and see what arises in your life .
It Only Takes A Smile
