If you’re not reading Grit with us, I highly encourage you to grab a copy or listen to the audiobook. 🎧📖
A part of the book this morning reminded me of something powerful:
Failure is normal. Mistakes are normal.
Yet from a young age, many of us are conditioned to feel shame or guilt when we mess up. That conditioning teaches us to AVOID trying new things… because at our core, we want to be accepted.
But growth doesn’t live in avoidance. It lives in courage.
So here’s my challenge for you this week:
Pick ONE thing that makes you nervous and do it.
It could be:
- Posting or interacting more in this group
- Trying a new workout class
- Going to lunch by yourself
- Signing up for that class to learn a new language
- Having a hard conversation
Anything BIG or SMALL.
I’ve evolved into someone who understands that failure isn’t fatal… but regret can last a lifetime.
I still get nervous.I still feel fear.I still worry.
But I also still show up and try.
How can we expect ourselves to be experts at something we’ve never even attempted? That kind of pressure isn’t fair — and it’s not how growth works.
This week, let’s choose courage over comfort. 💛
