Do not resist chances. Take them like vitamins.
Let go of the brakes. See what happens if you go five more miles.
Foot bridges be damned, find your own way across.
Don’t worry about the bumps and bruises. Your body can take them.
Don’t steer around the bits that scare you. Go over them. Go through them.
Do something the guys in the bowling league would be terrified of.
You will feel your chin rise up from your chest. And you’ll be able to see what’s around you. What’s ahead of you.
And there will be one less thing you cannot do.
