How often do we keep our most treasured ideas or desires a secret? Is there one thing you dream about that no one else knows. Is there something you long to do or be that keeps being put on the back burner? Is it a new business idea, would you like to learn line dancing, be a public speaker or write a book? Or just to be a better friend or learn how to garden?
Sometimes the things we haven’t told anyone hold the most risk for us. The risk of failure, disappointment or rejection. But if you play it safe you also don’t experience the joy of success, the joy of experiencing something new and uplifting.
So what if today you decide to throw caution to the wind and make your desire, your dream a priority. Share it with someone – what is the worst that could happen?
And when the fear comes, or perhaps it’s there already, just remember no one died from disappointment or failure but people do die with regrets.
