Last week I confronted an old enemy we all face...
FEAR
I love adventurous sports and this winter I have been snowboarding six times. It is a bit scary. I can now, after three years, snowboard quite well but realized one thing is stopping me from progressing and that is my fear.
Last time out I fell a couple of times just trying to slow myself down. This week I pushed myself because I thought:
"Do I want to do this or not? Do I want to advance or stay the same level? "
I decided that if I do something I should push myself a bit each time and improve a little each time I go out.
I went for it and as my speed increased I pushed through the barrier of fear just a bit. OK, I took it in steps and didn't go crazy but I pushed myself.
Life is the same. We need to confront fear and push ourselves through more challenging and uncomfortable events. Ask yourself this:
"Am I going to do this with all my effort and push myself to do my best or am I going to half-do this?"
Personally, I think that half doing something is pointless. Either I push myself to do the best I can or I should forget it and not bother.
Remember, the world needs and wants you to do your best so push yourself and succeed!
