No Time for Cold Feet
No Time for Cold Feet
So, I had to get my feet wet.
There was quite an initial shock of the cold on my feet and once I was in, I was able to push on without worrying about it any more.
Indeed after only a short while, sure, my feet were still wet and surprise, surprise, they started to warm up again.
When I got home, my feet were dry quickly and, in fact, even warmer.
In business, there are all sorts of things our day job brings us that could give us cold, wet feet. Most times they are issues; challenges we avoid, because the cold and wet equivalents in business are discomfort, challenge and, horror of horrors, even confrontation.
So we edge around them, day after day, cautiously. Until the day comes where there is no other way and we plunge in, get through it and build ourselves up for the next time.
Experience shows us that it wasn't that bad, actually. We got through it and survived.
And became even stronger.
Cold, wet feet don't bother us anymore. I don't worry about the experiences I'll have when walking. They are surmountable and in some ways, a different experience I like to have once in a while.
Today, whenever you are reading this, think about something that is your patch of cold water to walk through, and face into it right now.
Take the first step right now, today because it will never be the first step again.
