Now you’re on to something

Who’s taking care of your fears?

 

There’s only one comfort zone that seems useful.

Getting comfortable with fear.

Dancing with fear.

Falling in love with fear.

Because once the relationship is rock solid, we understand there is nothing to fear.

Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Then soar.

And thrive.

In a way, it’s almost like we haven’t been apart.

The conversation is still lively.

Plagued by our own potential.

If we could slay our fear and doubt, we’d literally astonish ourselves.

This applies to work, of course.

And it also applies to something we no longer think about…our health.

For the past 48 hours, being with my ‘”brothers”, i can’t help but feel compelled to think about how we will age, if given the privilege, for the next 10, 20, or 30+ years.

You know how they say, “Do not quit because you could be so close and if you quit, you’ll never know”?

Ever wonder if it’s really true?

Began the speech in a suit. Finished it in jeans, t-shirt and running shoes.

It took 16 years to overcome this fear.

It was a stupid fear.

Starve your doubts

First glances at yesterday’s 2015 Sunshine State Games – for athletes age 50 and over.

 

Starve your doubts.

Feed your dreams.

Simple.

Simple doesn’t mean easy, but it does mean simple.

At work.

At home.

Here, there, everywhere.

All day.

Everyday.

Confession time

Confession time. It’s tough to walk the talk.

Why?

Because of the high probability some will be offended, and our distaste for offending others.

And then those people (your friends, colleagues, Family) will call you arrogant. And they’ll do it behind your back and gossip about you.

This is the first and best sign you have a passion that you can’t contain.

But you may never fully unleash it because you’re too worried about what others think.

Important to note:

Over time we’ve all been jealous of another’s success, or angry at our lack of success. Or both. Our colleague’s success is an unintentional spotlight on our personal issues.

Also over time is the ability to rise above this.
