If It Scares You...
The seminar I'm leading this week of 22 NC public school teachers got rolling last night and I discovered that teachers are the ideal folks to have in a discussion group. Wow, what a bunch of thoughtful live wires.
This gathering is at NCCAT in Cullowhee in the NC mountains. That's the NC Center for the Advancement of Teaching. Gorgeous campus. From where I sit in our meeting room I can watch the spire of water in the fountain in the center of the pond next to the dining room.
So yesterday I was going on about my pre-teaching nervousness. It's gone. As always, getting moving makes the difference.
In our discussion last night, one person volunteered some wisdom from her sister: If it scares the shit out of you, do it.
I'd qualify that a tad: if the risk is reasonably low and the gain is significant, do it. I still don't see the point of bungee jumping.
Otherwise, doing what we want to do is worth weathering a bit of initial uneasiness. It's more than worth it.
