Are you scared?
I am.
Every single day.
I care a ton about everything that I do, my family, the business, our team, our clients, everything.
Whether it's this post, our brand as a whole, the experience at the gym, the results my consulting clients are getting, I'm scared.
But I'm ok with that.
Being scared means I care.
I care about what people think, I anxiously await their feedback, and it keeps me on my toes to constantly get better.
Fear is helpful, it keeps you on alert, and it can be a great motivator.
Are you scared?
I hope so.
Because that means you're doing something that will cause you to get better.
The ride of a fitness transformation, or any other change for that matter, can be scary, there’s no doubting that.
It's scary trying something new.
It's scary thinking you won't be able to do what others are doing.
It's scary not knowing what to do.
But that's ok...
Why?
It means you'll be on high alert, you'll care about every single detail.
It means you'll try your hardest and put your best effort in.
And remember this...
If you're not doing something that scares you every single day, you aren't getting better.
One of my favorite quotes, from Hugh Laurie…
“It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling right now that actually no one is ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now.”
Whether you’re scared because you’re not sure how to start, or you’re scared because you are about to try something new, go for something great and challenge yourself.
Being scared is okay, just don’t let it paralyze you.
Action cures fear.
1% Better.
