If You Werent Afraid

If You Werent Afraid

Posted 2013-12-29 by Lu Lu Bellefollow


A good friend of mine once told me that the best advice he had ever been given was from his uncle. And his uncle had said to him, " When making a decision, think to yourself, What would I do if I wasn't afraid?"

What amazing and yet simple advice, I thought. What would I do if I was not afraid? I'll tell you what I would do...

  • I'd apply for my dream job, regardless of whether or not I was qualified.

  • I would learn to surf

  • Get my hair cut in a barber shop, even though I'm a female, as I've always thought they looked like they were having fun in there and wished I could be a part of it.

  • I'd jump off that little cliff side and into the water at Wattamolla Bay, as so many others have had the courage to do.

  • Quit my job after writing a brilliant resignation letter telling my employers exactly what I thought of them.

  • Travel overseas by myself.

  • Stand up for myself.

  • Perform in front of people. Get into acting! Recite a poem at a poetry slam! Do stand up comedy!

  • Make peace with my past.

  • What would you do if you weren't afraid?
