Want more success?
Do something that you are afraid of.
Not something stupid. Do something to strech you past your comfort zone.
Today The Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/ran an article about Jeannie Schultz the widow of Peanut's creator Charles Schultz. She is woman with a terrible fear of heights. Instead of crumbling under her phobia, she "knew to put fear in it's place."
She is a serious student of...the trapeze. She began the lessons in order to handle her anxiety of being above ground.
Although she had now business training, she is now running the $35 million a year cartoon empire. And she is doing a damn good job, thank you very much, Learning to put her anxiety behind her has served her well.
What would you do if fear didn’t stop you?
Take a small step to get outside your comfort zone…and let me know how it was for you!

I quit smoking! How is that for being outside your comfort level? I am on Day 8 with (thank god!) the patch. After smoking for 22 years, yes that was 22 years!! I have been smoke free and even after talking myself "off the ledge" on Friday for some irritating thing John did, I still didn't smoke. I have also shaved my commute time by 5 minutes. Thanks Eli, you are an inspiration
