"I'm going to finally go down that black ski run."
"I'm going to be honest with a person that I've felt can put others down."
"I've been researching this new idea and I'm ready to put it out in the world."
Sometimes I followed through on these statements, other times I didn't and made excuses to myself or others about why. I don't have any positive or negative emotions about these moments in the past. They simply were what happened at the time and part of my journey toward who I am today and who I'll be in the future.
Each time it was a test of my courage. All of my curiosity, generosity, love and so many other values I hold dear depended on my ability to be courageous. To push myself that little bit forward and take the leap into the uncertain.
