Don't Be Afraid

About This Talk

Chris shares a practice he has kept for years: reading a short daily email from Mike Dooley, one of his favorite authors, about life and what we’re capable of. One recent note struck him, urging readers not to be afraid to go where they’ve never gone. He asks listeners to step outside their comfort zone, not with big leaps but with small ones that stretch their known world.

Key Ideas

• A short daily reading about life and what you’re capable of can keep your attention on what matters.
• To have what you’ve never had, you need to go where you’ve never gone and do what you’ve never done.
• Small leaps outside your comfort zone are enough to help you see the world differently and stretch your known world.

“If we don’t stretch, if we don’t go outside of our comfort zone, go where we’ve never been, we will actually never get what we want.”
