Death and resurrection is more common than you think.

Death and resurrection is more common than you think. You might already have done it a couple of times today. Each time you push yourself beyond your limits, you die a small death and rise to slightly new life. It happens when you weather hesitation and do something risky, like asking for a raise or saying "I love you" for the first time. Regardless of the outcome, you've just become more than you were before. 

You can engage in this process on purpose every day. On the job, ignore office gossip, or better yet, change the subject in an undeniable way. Send a shock wave of positivity through the room. You'll become a beacon for others who secretly feel the way you do but won't take the risk. In your relationship, don't ignore chances to be helpful and supportive, no matter how you feel. Let yourself show the little affections that keep the air clear. Counter bad moods with gently persistent positivity. 

In all situations, read your hesitation as an opportunity to take a chance. 

Be bigger than the possible failure. 

If you do this enough you will be happy. 

Ever forward.
