I saw this reel on Facebook the other day of an adorable family snowboarding together. The little girl was around 7 years old, wearing a microphone so her dad could hear her. She spoke with a sing-song rhythm and sang about how much she loved the snow and being outdoors, along with how good she was at snowboarding. She stopped at a steep area, told her dad she was scared, and then stated she was going to “Do It Scared!” In that moment, I adopted my new motto.
This also made me recollect how, as a youngster and gymnast, I attempted things that scared me all the time. As I have aged, I allow fear and doubt to stand in my way. Well, NOT anymore!! I am taking on this little girl’s motto for myself. When fear and doubt creep in, I will be brave and say to myself OR out loud, “Raeanne, Do It Scared!” I’ll let you know how it goes for me. How about you? Would this be a great new motto for you, too?
