We always think we have more time . . . but you don’t build confidence by doing nothing. Today we look at stoking the fire and finding our competitive nature. There’s been a trend at eliminating opportunities to compete with ourselves and others. To push our limits. But limits, like fears are an illusion. We talk about the benefits of taking risks, going for it when you got it, and the subtle ways we dig emotional holes that get tougher to dig out from. The mind has a way of talking yourself into safety, but we know the best way to live is to get out and feel. To experience. Sometimes using fear as a compass is the best way to find happiness.
