… You would call that prospect on your “chicken list” that you’ve been nervous about talking to.
… You would finally have that conversation with the person in your life that is causing you problems.
… You would fire that employee whose performance is not up to standard. But without pressure you’re letting them slide due to your own timidity.
… You would go ahead and write that blog post or book, but here you are, afraid of your own success.
… You would take charge of that team, group, or project. But you don’t want to “rock the boat” because you’re so concerned about other people’s feelings.
… You would shine the way you were always meant to, but you continue to dim your own lights to make everyone else feel comfortable around you.
… You would say, “fuck it,” and do that one thing that has been staring you in the face for a year.
… You would do all the stuff that would change your life. The stuff you’re not doing now, because the status quo is good enough, and comfortable enough.
… You would stop waiting for something to compel you into action, and take it yourself.
