Out on a limb................!

I just read a blog post by Seth Godin that  inspired me to write a blog post of my own about the topic he was addressing!

Okay, so what *was* this fascinating topic? 

Taking a risk.

So what’s the big deal about THAT? 

Well………..When was the last time you ‘took a chance’?  (walked up to a stranger and introduced yourself, spoke up against an injustice, performed in front of an audience, gave a speech, told someone who deeply hurt you that you loved him/her,  forgave someone, etc)?

Me?  I’ve been ‘taking chances’ ‘giving it a shot’   ‘getting my hands dirty’ a LOT lately.  Trust me, it ain’t easy!  But guess what…………It’s truly liberating! 

But WHY does it set you free? 

Because………You give yourself permission to let go or SURRENDER!     

Recently, five of my children and I performed in our dance company’s annual recital.  We are called ‘The Von Taps’ and we did a tap dance to ‘I Want You Back’ by The Jackson Five.  Was this an example of ‘going out on a limb’ or ‘going for the gusto.’ YOU BET IT WAS!  But………again………..It felt soooooo wonderful when we danced to the best of our abilities in front of that audience! 

I encourage YOU to take a chance……….TODAY!
