Few people do this deliberately.
Yet, it's the key to personal growth.
It is: Do something scary every day.
Of course, this varies for each person. Something that makes you yawn might send someone else running.
So, here is a generous list of possibilities. You might consider:
• Work on a difficult task first.
• Apply a new skill.
• Take a smart risk.
• Tell the truth to someone (and make sure that it's the real truth).
• Apologize.
• Discard clutter.
• Spend a moment in silence.
• Let a child talk to you (while you listen).
• Make a decision that is overdue.
• Acknowledge your feelings.
• Tell someone how you feel.
• Ask for something that you need.
• Decline a request that someone else can manage.
• Read a book.
• Leave the TV off for an evening.
• Write a list of things that you want to accomplish this year.
• Show this list to someone else.
• Find your own personal challenge and just do it.
Key Point: Every significant achievement occurs gradually. Make gradual success a daily priority.
Much success,
