Here is todays Daily Bit of Sunshine– to motivate, inspire, and make you smile…
Don’t be afraid to try new things. Don’t be afraid of looking silly, of not doing it “right”, of failing. Remember that feeling you had when you were a kid? When EVERYTHING was possible? When putting on an old football helmet, and giving your little brother a 5-sizes-too-big racing helmet, and fighting each other with empty wrapping paper rolls was a good idea, and the most fun you’ve had all day?
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
– Mark Twain, American writer
Do it. Whatever you’ve been wanting to try. If your child told you that they didn’t want to try something because they were scared they couldn’t do it, you’d tell them something like this, right?:
- “You won’t know what you can do until you try!”
- “Even if you don’t do well, I bet it will be fun to try it out!”
- “Give it a shot sweetie, you can do anything you put your mind to!”
So tell yourself that. Tell yourself that right now. Out loud. Loud enough that the guy in the office next to you thinks you’re weird. Because it’s true.
What dreams/ideas/goals do you guys have that you’ve been just waiting to get started? And what has kept you from going for it?
