Is there anything you've wanted to do...
but didn't or haven't because you know you'd probably be crap at it?
I always wanted to play the drums, but knew I couldn't keep time.
Ski. I was stationed in Colorado when I was in the Army years ago. I had plenty of chances to go skiing with my friends.I always chickened out because I was sure that I'd be horrible at it. It looked like so much fun. Now? I'm just a big CHICKEN!
shareI was afraid to ski until I got talked into going with a group of high school friends. We went to a local ski hill and we rented skis. They showed me how to put on the gear and then took me out to the bunny hill. They showed me how to turn, how to stop and how to get on and off the tow rope. Off I went. Even though I hit a tree that night, I LOVED IT! All during high school we skied every chance we got. We'd drive to a small ski resort just across the river in Wisconsin and ski for about five hours and then head home. We did this even on school nights. It was great. Never skied in Colorado though. The biggest mountain I ever skied is the San Francisco Peaks, the Arizona Snowbowl, in Flagstaff.
shareOne lesson that Anthony Robbins, the speaker and life coach, teaches is: "Whether you tell yourself you CAN do something, or tell yourself you CAN'T--YOUR RIGHT! If you tell yourself you can't, that's it. You've closed yourself to the possibility. If you tell yourself you can do it, you've opened yourself up to doing it."
