One of the best habits Ive created over the decades is facing fears, dropping pride and seeking help wherever I needed it; and fast. Once I become aware (or someone I surround myself with makes me aware) there is an obstacle that is holding me back from a better me and hindering personal growth, relationships, business, LIFE, then I take action no matter how uncomfortable. Its hard and there are many times Ill have anxiety because of having to face realities that I havent faced; but its much harder living with the feeling of staying where I am at knowing I could be a better man, partner, friend, brother, son and leader! The pain of staying where I am at is ALWAYS much, much greater. Who are you around that inspires you but also calls you out when needed and makes you aware of your bullshit, but because you respect them you listen? Are you just around people that pat you on your back and tell you youre great? Right now do you know you need to take action on something but youve been waiting for the right time or money or some other rationalization that prevented you from facing your fear? If you clear your glasses of life youll see that its a lie. If you dont take action now where will you be in 3 months, 6 months? What will change? If not then maybe its not that painful were youre at. Be brave, my heart [wrote the poet and mercenary Archilochus]. Plant your feet and square your shoulders to the enemy. Meet him among the man-killing spears. Hold your ground. In victory, do not brag; in defeat, do not weep. - Steven Pressfield
