Do something each day that SCARES you!

That phrase has been the theme for my life for the last 2 months! It's definitely some food for thought at least! I've found myself doing all sorts of crazy things... such as... going backpacking for the first time, being Hannah Montana for Halloween, leaving my phone number on a guy's motorcycle, talking to someone about the gospel, starting to teach aerobic classes, taking classes to get a teaching certificate, trying on a pair of skinny jeans, riding my bike home with a cup of hot chocolate in hand, or today for example... starting a blog! The list goes on and on. It can be big or small, but it's been a blast to see what new adventure each day brings! There's always something to do that gets us out of our comfort zone a little bit, something that stretches us each day. Most of us see those experiences and let them pass by thinking we'd feel self-conscious or vulnerable if we did them, but my motto is to seize those moments, experiences, and opportunities and live life a little more! If the whole purpose of life is to gain experience, then we might as well be getting the most bang for our buck! This phrase has revolutionized my thought process, and re-defined how I want to live my life! I hope it'll do the same for you!

  1. Love it! You are doing so many adventurous things! Keep at it. I will try and do something out of my comfort zone as well...like today I took Miles to get a Swine Flu vaccine and it was so crowded I wanted to leave so bad, but I stayed. That was something that scared me and something I don't feel comfortable with...being all alone in a huge crowd of people with a tired baby...but I did it!
    I love you Berger....keep blogging!
