On tonight's Golden Globe Awards, Steven Spielberg made a comment that touched my heart. He said that his success was because he was constantly asking himself, "Can I get away with this?" If he didn't have anxiety about a project, he knew that it wasn't the right fit for him.
I look at my own life and ask myself the same things as I look at my goals for 2009. Can I get away with what I have planned? If the answer Yes comes too easily, I am going to put it at the bottom of my list. If the answer isn't quite that simple, or if the thought of No creeps, up, those are the things that I'm going to tackle first.
I would like to challenge each of you to set five personal and five professional goals for 2009. Look at each of your goals, and add as much detail as you can. Now ask yourself, "Can I get away with it?" The ones that make you reach for the Tums are the ones that are going to bring you the most value in your life. It will be a risk, but if you commit to acting shamelessly to reach your goals, you too will find yourself being proud of your life's achievements instead of regretting the opportunities that slipped away.
Raise your hand if you've ever been afraid to, well, raise your hand!
