Growth happens at the edges of what feels safe and familiar.

To build anything new we must 
find a way to consistently and deliberately accept discomfort, despite our best excuses to skip 
it one more day. 

Progress starts when you show up: messy, unsure, but willing to try. When we show up despite our fear and accept the temporary pain 
of starting, we eventually get rewarded with true breakthroughs. It’s one of the paradoxes of life. 
The thing you’re running from is 
what will change everything. 

Action brings clarity. It’s the only cure. Just get yourself started and give it a chance. You will realize that your worries were just made-up by the monkey mind trying to keep you safe. Doing things that scare you will make you happier.

We can use our fear as a compass. The more we’re scared of something, 
the more important it is to give it 
a shot. Commit to a tiny progress, 
do it regularly, and let it compount:
this will make you feel better.

Anaïs Nin said it best: “Life 
shrinks or expands in proportion 
to one’s courage.”

What’s task scares you the most? Make a baby step today. Allow momentum to kick-in and carry you. It will change your whole energy.

Writing this scared me. It’s not necessarily “in my lane”. I’m not a writer. Now I feel better that I did it. 

So here’s a reminder: no matter where you are, no matter how stuck or unsure you feel, action is the way forward. I’m rooting for you. 

“Action is the loudest declaration 
of belief. Every step forward, 
no matter how small, is proof. 
Proof that fear doesn’t own you. Proof that you’re moving closer 
to who you want to become.”
