"Today I did something very stupid, or very good. I don't know it yet", he says during our coaching session.
"What do you mean?" I ask, and he tells me about a very bold and brave move he made towards one of his most wanted dreams. And I smile.
"So today you actually did something very bold", I reply.
Now he is smiling.
More often than not, we judge what we do or we want very harshly, probably while thinking that if we are the ones that do it in the first place, it will not hurt when haters, naysayers, and toxic people will come at us and criticize us just as harshly.
Aubrey: What's your name?
Fat Amy: Fat Amy.
Aubrey: You call yourself Fat Amy?
Fat Amy: Yeah, so twig bitches like you don't do it behind my back.
And yet, most of the time, it hurts just the same way.
And it is not helpful.
Just like beauty, boldness is in the eye of the beholder.
Haters are gonna hate anyway, so let's be bold for a change.

[Being bold is scary, like most of the things
that are worth pursuing, so let's be bold]
And yet, most of the time, it hurts just the same way.
And it is not helpful.
Just like beauty, boldness is in the eye of the beholder.
Haters are gonna hate anyway, so let's be bold for a change.
