Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

‘Always Do What You Are Afraid To Do.’
So said Emerson.
As far as a resolution goes for 2010 it’s not a bad one. However, I’m afraid of a lot things and I’m not jumping into shark infested waters covered in Bolognese sauce just for the sake of personal growth.
But Emerson wasn’t talking about facing sharks, of course, or spiders, or even the Northern Line after 11pm. He was talking about big ticket items, like change. He was saying make the change that you are afraid to make.
So I was busy planning my change but now it appears it has to be something that scares the bejesus out of me.
Whose bright idea was this?
Oh.
