I am fond of Seth Godin. He has written a dozen of bestsellers. He is pushing forward a non traditional publishing movement under The Domino Project. He founded and runs Squidoo.com. I think I like him most because He blogs everyday – simple, brief and brilliant thinking about working, living, and being in the digital age (that sums it up to me, but my little synopsis doesn’t do his blog justice). Today’s post really resonated with me. It’s titled Confidence without Guts. If you are reading this post, go back and click on the link to Seth’s post and read it now.

What he communicates so simply in this post is exactly how I feel about pushing forward so that I can go. This Saturday is the Kick-Off of the Challenge Me to Grow experience. I could have simply put it off another couple of months, or cancelled it. I could have ignored that tingling sensation in the bottom of my toes when the idea first popped into my head. I could have allowed the negative self-talk to outweigh the positive self-talk and the encouragement from others. I could have walked without faith.

A lil sneak peak

Instead I chose to have guts. I chose to push forward and go. I am not sure of the outcome. People tell me that they are coming, but you know how that goes. I don’t have all the answers. I am not perfect. But I am confident that the experience will touch someone, maybe even a few. That’s my motivation to have guts.  Even if I fail or don’t do anything else with the movement, having Confidence with Guts feels good.


Peace
