What would you do if you weren't afraid?

I was reading an article about tennis player serena Williams today. In it she she mentions a book she recently read. The title is "Who moved my cheese" by Spencer Johnson.

She mentioned a question in the book: "What would you do if u were not afraid?"

This really got me thinking about what things I miss out on because of my fears.

So my question to all of you is:

What would you do if you were not afraid?

I would wear form fitting clothes more often....
Ask that cute guy at work out for coffee....
Say "no", to people once in a while....
 
Xdanx I can empathize with that. I almost drowned twice as a kid, I was sooo scared of the pool for years afterwards. I took swimming lessons two times since, but still can't swim. My body just stiffens up in the water.

Oh, I forgot to add singing... I would sing at a Kareoke club or something like that. I love to sing, but any time I've tried it in front of a group of people my throat tightened up and I ended up sounding like a goat, LOL.
 
Save all of my money for a year rather than spending it on silly things I don't need, then sell everything I own (which isn't much!) and set out to travel the world. I really want to do this, but i think I am a little bit afraid....plus I need to pay off some debts first....bla. But that would be an incredibly empowering thing for me.

You sound like me!!!!!!!!!!!!

I shop too much, go out too much, and save too little.
Maybe we need to set up a 'world travel club'.
The moto could be "loose weight, save money, travel the world"
 
I really thought about this question and honestly, can't think of something I wont do. I'll try it once, maybe twice if it was really niice.

The only thing maybe is skydiving. Though, I was signed up for it but it rained the day of the outing and we just didn't get around to signing up again. I would do it again, but now, maybe afraid of dying as there are others in my life.
 
I would step off the deep end of my uncertainty and get a job outside my home (I haven't done anything but the mom thing in 10 years).

I would move heaven and earth and return to school to pursue a degree in human nutrition to become a registered dietician. Perhaps I would even go for broke and pursue a PhD/MD as an endocrinologist.

To be entirely honest, fear isn't the only thing that holds me back on the second. Mostly money holds me back on that one.

psst - financial aid isn't that tough to get -and if it's to fulfill a dream - something which you'd be good at and enjoy - even student loans would benefit..

and the mom thing is a tough gig - don't sell it short...
 
It is when you have 30k in loans you haven't paid back. I need a job to do that ;p

The mom thing - yeah, it's tough. Some days I wonder what I could have been thinking LOL. But it doesn't last forever, and I sincerely get the shakes and nausea when I think about going back to work someday.

God Bless,
mik
