ABOUT THIS EPISODE
10 Things You Would Do If You Weren’t Afraid by Steve Chandler
From the book “Reinventing Yourself” by Steve Chandler:
“Go off by yourself somewhere and sit down with a spiral notebook. (Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino says the spiral notebook is the most high-tech invention of our lifetime because you can take it anywhere, you don’t need an electrical outlet or batteries, and you can write anything into it.)
Write down 10 things you would do in your life if you had absolutely no fear. Then pick one of them to do.
The thing you’ve picked to do might make you afraid just thinking about it, but that’s okay. Don’t think about it. Thinking about it is what is making you afraid. Just get started doing it. Without thought.
All courageous people have fear. They just do things anyway, hollering with a combination of joy and fear, like Butch and Sundance jumping off the high cliff into the water below.
You will find, as you descend toward the water, there is a joyful rush. You’re feeling your fear while you are in action conquering it. And as you continue in action, the fear dissolves, like a fist full of salt in the river. What remains for you is pure joy. It’s the joy of being someone you were not. That’s reinvention.
You reinvent by doing things “you” wouldn’t do, and in so doing you realize there is no fixed and permanent “you” at all.”
