A while back I wrote an article called "Ten Things You Can Do Today to Jump-start Success." I'd like to add a number 11 to that list here:
Do Something Bold Every Day: Don't let a single day go by without stepping out of your comfort zone to do something that will bring you closer to success. Whether it be making a phone call, putting an idea to paper, dropping one project to make room for something more important or putting an offer on a property. One bold move every day adds up quick--it creates a habit of making decisions and carrying them out.
Personally I write my "one bold thing" at the end of my journal entry each day. It's interesting to see how something that I considered bold only 2 or 3 months ago seems mundane now. That's growth!
Priam, King of Troy, begging for Hector's body:
"'Honor the gods, Achilles; pity him.
Think of your father; I'm more pitiful;
I've suffered what no other mortal has,
I've kissed the hand of one who killed my children.'
He spoke, and stirred Achilles' grief to tears;
He gently pushed the old man's hand away.
They both remembered; Priam wept for Hector,
Sitting crouched before Achilles' feet.
Achilles mourned his father, then again
Patroculs, and their mourning stirred the house."
The Iliad
Book 24 Lines 503-513
