Today I would like to share a little something about daring. A little something about falling down, getting dirty and knocked around, and those who judge those who do. Here is a passage from a speech given by Theadore Roosevelt in his speech titled "Citizenship in a Republic" given in 1910.
"It's not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly...."
For those of you who are wondering if you "should" try something and are listening way too much to the critics, now is the time to put on your earmuffs and blinders and get focused and get in the arena. Whether the arena be fitness, weight loss, strength, personal, family, professional or many others; now is the time to jump in and get dirty.
Those bumps and bruises when the dirt has been washed off may just reveal a better, stronger, more courageous, authentic and beautiful you. You may just become a leader, forge paths, reach your goals, learn, inspire or make a difference. It's all up to you!
Are you going to listen to the jeering words of the critics in your life, and they are plenty, or will you take a stand and listen to the voice deep inside which calls you to your greatness? The voice calling you to take a chance. The voice that tells you, You Can Do It! The voice that pushes you into the darkness of the unknown because it knows it will be worth it. The voice that encourages you to Dare Greatly!
