"If you want to live a life you've never lived, you have to do things you've never done".
I read this quote in a book I'm reading at the moment and it really resonated with me.
Immediately it took my mind back almost a couple decades or so ago.
I can clearly remember how I wanted to become a public speaker so I could feel more confident when talking to groups of people.
I wanted to have a life where I could talk confidently with little preparation if I ever was called to speak in public.
I wanted to live a lifestyle to be able to deliver talks and training's with ease and confidence.
I talked about it for many years but I never lived that life.
I never did anything different to bring myself closer to that lifestyle.
Until one day... I got so sick of talking about it, I said, "Paul, enough is enough, move your ass and go take some action before you become surgically connected to the couch your sitting on"...
I did the following which I have never done before...
? Joined Toastmasters, a public speakers organisation...
? I started to attend training's on how to present...
? I watched and followed other presenters...
? I started to talk to small groups of people...
I did all these things and more, that I have never done before.
I really sucked at it.
I was so embarrassed because it was so difficult and I just could not do it.
When I reflect back now I have to laugh at some of the bloopers I said and did during this learning stage.
I'm still learning...
Understand this...
I'm now living that life because I faced the fear of doing some things I have never done before.
Listen up...
It was absolutely worth the growth pains like a caterpillar breaking through the cocoon into a magnificent, beautiful butterfly...??
Like the piece of coal under enormous pressure to produce a sparkling diamond...??
Here the deal...
To enjoy the life you've never lived, do the things you've never done and life will never be the same again.
