How bold can you be?

When you watch movies or TV shows with strong female leads, do you find yourself wishing you were like them?

How about Captain Sharon Raydor on Major Crimes? Unflappable, calm, and quite certain of what she knows and how she damn well feels about it, tooreal
I find myself aspiring to some of her balanced behaviors.

Why should you hold yourself back from being boldly who you are? Because you are afraid of what "they" will think of you? Because you feel awkward walking outside of those well-known comfort zones of yours?

These cease to be "good enough" reasons to hold back once you realize the cost to you of being anything but bold!

When you aren't bold, you don't ask for or get what you really want - at work, in life, you just don't get what you want!

When you aren't bold, you don't ask yourself what it is that you want to do next...or what you want to stop settling for...or what behavior you are determined to undertake!

When you aren't bold, risk goes away. GOOD risk. The kind of risk that allows you to reach for stars, or go for a big dream at least once.
