Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~Mark Twain
Remember when you were a kid and heard your friends say, “I dare you. I double dare you.” Usually the dares were pretty benign and silly. I can remember friends pushing limits and challenging one another. Somewhere along the way, I realized that my own dares had become more conservative, safe, and easy. It wasn’t until 2005 when I started Toning the OM™ that I began to really dare to put myself out into the world knowing I could fail greatly and achieve greatly.
For me, daring greatly is about putting my work out into the world in bigger ways, following a heart-centered path, and being of service. It means taking risks in my business and my life even when I am scared. Daring greatly is showing up vulnerable and being seen.
“How dare you?” people might ask. Who are you not to dare? Dare deeply. Dare greatly. Go ahead and dare yourself to do something in the world that brings more art, more creativity, more humor, more change, more exploration, more bliss – more whatever good you choose. Make something happen. Dare others to make something happen too.
Dare to show up to life. Dare to be seen. Dare to be in the arena. Dare greatly.
Now is the time. Now is your time.
Go ahead – be daring! I dare you.
