Practice act of everyday courage
As Professor Little likes to say, “you are like some other people and like no
other person.” What I do know is that the first time you do anything, it’s going to
feel difficult and maybe a little scary. You’re going to need a little courage. We are all
capable of “acting out of character” when it serves an important purpose. The
most important purpose I can think of is improving your life in ways that make you
come alive and feel happy and fulfilled.
How do you “act out of character” to do that work? You guessed it: you assert
yourself and practice acts of everyday courage using the #5SecondRule. Those acts
may not seem “earth shattering,” but they will shatter self-doubt over time.
As Michelle discovered, doing things that scare you actually make you more
confident. If you have the courage to take action, your confidence will follow.
Every time you push yourself to speak when you’re nervous, act when you’re afraid,
or get to the gym when you don’t feel like it, you realize that you can rely on
yourself to get anything done. From this belief in your personal abilities flows your
confidence.
