ARE YOU IN THE ARENA OR IN THE CROWD

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,"

Theodore Roosevelt

Anytime you strive for growth, for change, for greatness (whatever that means to you), you are likely to hear critical voices.

Some of those voices might be real, others perceived, often the harshest & most cutting critical voices come from within.

Doubt, despair, fear & judgement can be the catalyst for harsh words, warnings & criticisms about your ability to shine.

These critical voices, whether real or perceived, can make it a lot harder to do the work it takes effect positive change.
They can hold you in more comfortable, familiar ways of being.

The question is what is worth overcoming these critical voices for?

What arena will you step into?

What is worth the risk of failure?

What is worth the price of success?

If you were filled with courage what would you do?

What can you do this week to make that happen?
