| It's a known fact that Cupid aims for the heart. It's
hard to hit your heart when your rear is waving in the wind. The
ostrich hides her head in the sand because she is afraid. When you hide your head in the
sand (or elsewhere), it is because you are afraid, too.
What are you afraid of? Most of you (me, too) are afraid of rejection, but some
throw in a few other frights such as fear of change, or commitment, or worse yet,
"someone will get to know the real me, the part my mom doesn't even know, then
they'll never even like me, much less love me!"
Action is the only cure for fear. Yet, you can paralyze yourself thinking of
worse-case scenarios.
So, how can you make yourself act when you are afraid? Ask yourself, "What
would I do if the fear was gone?" Then do it!
I know a few people who jump off the bridge before learning to swim. They learn
quickly rather than drown in a sink-or-swim situation.
Other people practice and practice. They swim for years so they can be perfect
before even looking at the bridge. They rarely get perfect so swimming doesn't help them.
And still others plan for worst-case contingencies, grab a life jacket or two,
then finally take the leap.
Over the next few months, SOLO is going to help you take the leap.
Some people will leap right away, find out they can swim, and go on their way.
Others will leap next month or the month after. Some will practice and practice but never
quite be perfect enough. And, sadly, some others will never quite get the nerve.
Where will you be?
