One thing every day …

This quote by Eleanor Roosevelt found me (and by this I mean: I read it for the first time) when my girls were young.  In fact, I think they were both in early elementary school.  It was a time in their lives when they were trying all kinds of new activities – swim, dance, etc. – and I was always encouraging them to be brave.

But the day I read this quote, I had the realization that I couldn’t very well expect them to be brave and try new things if I wasn’t modeling that behavior myself.  Children learn by what we do, not by what we say.

So, may I continue to do things that scare me.  Woo-hoo!!  How about you?

Question:  Is there something you’ve been avoiding that you really, really, really want to try?

Food For Thought: What if the only thing stopping you was your fear?

Challenge: What new thing could you try today (however small) that absolutely scares you?
