something Val sent me yesterday:

To the degree we're not living our dreams, our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves. - Peter McWilliams

So true. I think that, every day, you should do one thing that is beyond your comfort zone. If you have a hard time speaking up in a group, for example, decide that you will speak at today's company meeting? If that seems too daunting, as a first step, present an idea to your friends or your family about something/anything that's important to you. Your delivery may be nervous and awkward, but you will learn from the experience and you will have become a more confident speaker. Remember that whatever task you choose for yourself, it must be something that you find difficult.

Here's my challenge: I want someone to do something that's difficult for them, and then share the experience with the rest of us. See? Now you have the added incentive of being able to encourage others with your courage. Any takers?

Keep in mind that you can post without divulging your identity. Though, even that could be something you take baby steps at overcoming today, if you're someone who finds it difficult to share.
