Be Daring

Playing it safe is the position of the mostly dead. It’s located between fear and contentment, which is fine at the end of life, when you’ve made peace with your Maker, said your good-byes, signed the will, left some food for the cat and told your family where the jewels are buried.

Until that day comes Be Daring. It will keep you from wandering through life in a fuzzy imitation of what could be, to addressing your purpose or destiny or that itch you know you must scratch!

Be Daring because you are a realist. You understand and appreciate that the sand in the hourglass is running.

People who are realists climb mountains, tinker in garages, travel to exotic places, take chances on relationships, start businesses, create and design, etc. because they cannot NOT do those things.

If you’ve let your hopes and dreams fall by the wayside, or you think it’s too late for you, Bah! No! STOP, please. Be Daring. Reclaim the spark of your desires and attack that thing you want to do, the one that keeps showing itself to you. The one which makes you happy and brings you joy just thinking about it.

Are you concerned about being taken seriously? Worried that people around you will get angry because your thing will take time away from them? Frig them. Draw a line between your desires and the naysayers. Politely remind them that their clock is ticking too and then go be the Champion of You.

A disclaimer, if you please: I’m not advocating that you leave your spouse, shave your head and join a traveling band, although if that’s your thing, have at it and let me know when you’ll tour New England.

Be Daring. Carve out the time. Your very existence is counting on you to fulfill it’s deepest desires. If you must, go after your thing quietly, in stolen moments, in private, in hiding. You’re doing this for you, remember? Because it feeds your soul and keeps your sanity. You never feel more alive and connected to this world than when you’re in the middle of creating, climbing, singing…whatever.

Be Daring. Don’t shut the door on your dream or goal or desire until you start hearing angels. And they best be SHOUTING your name.

BE F-G AWESOME TODAY!
