Bravery — Do one thing every day that scares you

Yesterday’s article started with the words:

Are you Brave Enough?

Bravery is a key word for me…..

This article was linked to HR leaders and being brave and also applies to all of us. Bravery is a key component of leadership, including self-leadership, one I come back to over and over again in my writing.

This reminded me of a phrase that has helped me to keep stretching, keep seeking to grow, evolve, learn:

“Do one thing every day that scares you”

This phrase formed part of a Chicago Tribune column in 1997. You may also have a memory that this was then made into a song by Baz Luhrmann, so included the fun pop video below too.

Oh, and before the transcript and the video, I am currently stretching myself in a space where I am uncomfortable and that every day scares me a little. I am confident and self-assured in a number of areas, but in this one I am not at all, and so that is currently my one thing every day that scares me, at least a little!

What is the one thing you will do today that scares you?

Perhaps it is to quote a higher rate for your services than you have ever done before?
