This week take a risk in the company of others. Stop trying to save face and let yourself goof up now and then. Tell a joke at the risk of it bombing. Dance in front of other people, but do it because you like it, not because you’re worried what others may think. Sing. Sing a lot. Smile and give a compliment. Practice one minute of pure unadulterated guts per day. Ask her out. Ask for the deal. Ask your boss for a raise. If you don’t ask the answer is always the same. Asking is movement. And as my coach once told me when I was chasing athletic dreams, “God can’t steer a parked car”. Go out and do it. Start by practicing guts every day.
