Summary
Today, Dan Millman reminds us that growth is an uncomfortable process. Unfortunately, most of us want success but are not willing to pay the price of success because of fear. However, Dan contends that nothing truly worth having comes easy. In other words, success, triumphs, or anything worth having takes effort, grit, and will.
More importantly, Dan invites you to reflect and ask, "How could I show a little more courage today?" Sometimes it only takes a simple question to make the biggest difference in life. You may be one decision away from a remarkable life. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face...You must do the thing you think you cannot do." So, are you going to let fear stop you? Or are you going to cut through it?
