"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
-Anais Nin
New mantra. 1) Because I love Anais Nin and everything she's ever written/said, 2) Because it's so true for this phase of my life right now, and 3) It reminds me that it's okay to be scared... sometimes allowing yourself to be scared IS a risk. I really believe that I need to be scared/push myself more often. Take more chances, increase the risk factor a lil bit. I've always loved comfort and stability, but I am learning to love the thrill of a risk. The uncertain.
Does this mean that I'll be signing up for skydiving tomorrow? No..... but maybe paintballing. I did Bikram Yoga last week. I've got a 26.2 mile bike ride coming up, and my first ever triathlon in just over a month. Eeek. I didn't realize how close it was!
See? Risk. Fear. MOTIVATION.
It feels awesome.
