30 Days to a better man
donned their packs and climbed into the hull of the plan on their first
training flight, some of the men were feeling the fear big time. Others
chose not to think about it. When the green light went off, they lined
up, stepped to the door and jumped.
Just do it.
Today’s Task:
Conquer a Fear
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in
nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger
is no safer in the long run than exposure.”
—Helen Keller
Pick a fear you’ve had for some time. Something you need to do, something
you want to do, but you’ve been continually putting off. We think we
stay safe by playing it small, but our unconquered fears sit like a weight on
our shoulders. They’re there when you wake up and when you go to bed.
They keep whispering in your ear that today is the day to go for it, and you
keep ignoring the call. The weight of your unconquered fears builds slowly,
almost imperceptibly, but it grows each and every day, slowing down your
progress and cluttering your mind.
Ask that girl out that you’ve liked for a very long time. Tell your best
friend how you really feel about her. Break-up with your girlfriend that
you stopped having feelings for months ago. Ask for that raise you deserve.
Confess your mistake to your friend or boss. Ask your brother for forgiveness.
Perhaps there are some 30 Days tasks that you haven’t done yet because
you’ve been afraid to. Today is the day that the excuses and procrastination
absolutely must end. Talk to 3 strangers. Write your dad a letter. Take
a woman on a date. Just do it.
