Have you ever found yourself thinking about something you'd love to do, only to immediately come up with a dozen reasons why you couldn't?

Perhaps you've thought about learning a musical instrument, starting a business, travelling somewhere new, changing direction in your career or pursuing a dream you've quietly carried for years.

And almost as quickly as the idea appears, another voice takes over.

I'm too old for that.

I wouldn't know where to start.

I don't have the time.

What would people think?

That's just not something someone like me does.

And just like that, the possibility disappears.

We haven't explored it. We haven't researched it. We haven't even given ourselves the opportunity to imagine what it might look like.

We've simply decided it's not for us.

I wonder how many possibilities we've dismissed throughout our lives without ever really questioning why.

This month on This Year's Word, we're exploring a new word: DARE.

And while daring might bring to mind images of grand adventures, bold decisions and extraordinary acts of courage, I want to begin somewhere much quieter.

Because before we can dare to do something, we first have to give ourselves permission to imagine it.

And sometimes, that alone requires a little courage.

If the content of today’s episode has piqued your interest, I have something very special for you. I have created 30 Journal Prompts, similar to the ones mentioned throughout this episode on daring – that’s one life-changing prompt for you to work on every day over the next month!

Just imagine how much growth you can unlock over the next 30 days if you keep the momentum going and commit to answering one prompt a day.

All you need to do to get these thought-provoking prompts is leave a positive rating and review for this podcast, take a screenshot of your review and email it to: courtney@alittlepinkbook.com and I’ll email you the prompts!
