Today, your assignment is to observe your choices. Look at every decision you make, from the food you eat to the time you spend on various tasks, to the people you choose to hang out with. Are you making choices that limit you or choices that nurture you?

“Whatever you can do, or dream you can begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
— Goethe
A couple of days ago, you started a notebook of dreams. How is that going? Have you written anything down yet? If you haven’t, what are you waiting for? Get busy! You are not going to change by just reading this book. If you have been working on your dream notebook, pat yourself on the back. Good job! You are taking that first step in faith.
Today’s lesson is about boldness. It’s a wonderful word that means to have courage, to plunge forward even when there is risk involved. To be bold also means to be clear or distinct. Bold type is stronger. It stands out.
Be bold about your dreams. Take risks. There is genius in being bold, because it is the opposite of being shy and uneasy. It shows direction and commitment. You can either apologize for your life, or you can step up to the plate and go for it. What do you have to lose? A boring and unfulfilling life?
You don’t have to even believe in yourself to be bold. It’s like standing on the high dive for the first time. You don’t have to know what it’s going to feel like to plunge into that cold water. You just have to dive off.
Your assignment today is to look at some of your dreams. Pick one. What can you do to boldly go in the direction of that dream? Is there a clear and distinct move you can make today that will start to hurl you toward that goal? Would it really be so scary? What first step can you take in faith? The results may be magical.
