It's ok to be unwise

It's 5 degrees outside, with negative wind chills, yet it seemed like a great morning for a run. 3.7 miles later, I was able to congratulate myself on starting my day strong, with discipline, and not caving in to the voices in my head saying, "What, are you crazy?! It's not safe!"

The same process can be applied any time we want to step out of our comfort zones, and attempt to do something "crazy."

• Plan ahead - visualize the potential challenges, and how can you overcome them? Consider the environment, and be ready for curveballs.
• Listen to the encouraging voice in your head and heart that knows you can achieve your desires, and silence the internal critic.
• Trust in yourself and know that when the desire is present to achieve something that means the resources needed are already within you.

Go ahead, and be a little crazy. You never know where it will take you.

Scratch that - you know exactly where it will take you, because you can already see it!
