Courage

Today I have decided that I will face my fears in order to become the man I want to be. I want to be courageous.

So like most courageous men I made a list.

  1. Heights: I will stand above the CN Tower without hesitation.
  2. Spiders: I will hold a spider for 5 seconds without freaking out.
  3. Stand up: I will stand up for something I believe in for a cause I believe in.
  4. Rejection: I will formally ask a girl out to dinner in true confidence.
  5. Walking out: I will walk out on someone to show that I will not be held down.
  6. Helping: I will help someone random on the street out with something I am unfamiliar with.
  7. Snakes: I will find a snake and pet it.
  8. Skateboard: I will stand on a skateboard with my own two feet and move forward.
  9. Spicy foods: I will eat the spiciest thing I can find.
  10. Pain: I will bring myself pain and be okay with it.
  11. Singing out loud: I will sing in public without fear of judgment or torment.
  12. Weight: I will conquer my fear of being fat.
  13. Speaking my mind: I will tell someone that is mean to me what I feel about them.
  14. Self-worth: I will prove to someone that I am worth every second of their time.
  15. Jump: I wish to jump into a pool from a diving board.
  16. Swim: I wish to learn how to swim so I do not die from jumping in.
  17. Hold my own: I will do something spontaneous to show people I am me.
  18. Travel: I will go a distance alone without fear or hesitation.
I will try to finish as much of these as I possibly can. Even if I do finish all of them, will I be fearless? I will find out with time. What I really want to know is, what is my greatest fear?
