It is finally the start to a new year. We always make new years resolutions, trying to be better people. The new year almost symbolizes a new clean slate where we can begin again but as brand new people.
What are you going to change about yourself? How are you going to grow?
I challenge you to do one thing every day that scares you. Why?
It is because when we are scared and conquer our fears that we find ourselves and grow. We find out how far we can push ourselves and its quite exciting breaking through a fear. It prepares us as we enter each day fearless.
I recently conquered a fear of mine which is of heights. I immediately wanted to so "No, no way I'm climbing a 30 feet high tree to jump off it!". But I thought to myself "I'll regret it if I don't do it" and so as hard as each step was up that tree, no words could describe the sense of accomplishment when I jumped off. I felt fearless and ready to do anything just from that. Just imagine the possibilities we could have by conquering one fear day by day. They say after all, being in an uncomfortable place is good because it forces you to grow.
There is a great quote from 'We Bought a Zoo' which can help you overcome your fears...
I further challenge you to go on new adventures constantly. Say yes to things you wouldn't usually do because by doing things you've never done, you may get what you've never gotten. Be open and I promise you, you will grow.
So I leave you with this amazing quote:
Good luck on conquering your fears and embracing new adventures!
Here's to a a year of growth, happiness, love and FUN!
