Image via WikipediaYou gotta love kids. I was recently teaching a class on feelings and the book I was reading had the line in it... "Are you feeling bold?". I've learned never to assume that children know what I am talking about, so I stopped and asked the kindergarten class if they knew what bold meant. Being five and six year olds they of course did. The child I called on confidently replied "You know, it's when you have no hair."I thought about this story as I worked on my yearly goals. A couple of them involve stepping way out of my comfort zone and I'm having a hard time getting past that. What concerns me? Failure and rejection to name a few DEVASTATING feelings. Certainly is hard to quiet that negative voice inside, isn't it? What does it take to make a difference in the world though? Taking a calculated risk? Sailing in new seas? Feeling bald...I mean bold?
