So, do you remember the Sunscreen Song? It started, “Ladies and Gentlemen of the Class of ’97: Wear Sunscreen.”
This wise man proceeds to make an inspiring speech where he gives pieces of advice based on his own “meandering experience.” (Note: The speech was actually written by Chicago Tribune columnist, Mary Schmich).
Confession: This song came to me at an impressionable time and because of this and the fact it rings so true to me, it has become foundational to my life philosophy.
One of my favorite lines of the song is:
“Do something everyday that scares you.”
I live by this.
Why? Because miraculous shifts in what you believe possible for yourself occur when you push back the cage of your comfort zone.
What happens then? You EXPAND. Your life EXPANDS.
Now you are on an adventure into uncharted territories. Now you’re holding the reins. You are not a minion of your outdated fear. You are the Queen (or King) of your destiny.
Also, it’s fun! Like roller coaster fun.
Because of everything I shared above, I have created the 365 Day WILD LIVING CHALLENGE.
Where, if you sign up, I will deliver a free life expanding, too-much-fun-to-pass-up DARE to your inbox every single day of the year 2012. One simple task a day. Imagine the thrill of transforming into a fearless force of nature.
I dare you.
I dare you to make 2012 the year that blew the roof off of what you thought was possible.
I dare you to play a bigger game.
I dare you to uncover every ounce of courage that lies within you.
Sign up HERE, WILD CHILD!
big courageous love,
Chris
p.s-When you sign up, I will send you a virtual re-gift:)
