There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone else chase their dream, tackle a challenge or leap into their own dream. It’s also a very personal insight into someone’s life as often these pursuits involve a lot of blood, sweat and tears. However, their courage can stir something deep within us. Often, we are so caught up on forging our own path that we forget how transformative it can be to walk beside someone on theirs and being a voice of support and reason when they need it.
Recently, I was part of my brother’s support team on an epic eleven mile swim in Lake Windermere. It was a brilliant few days. These were my key take aways from the experience:
- Learn through their courage – seeing someone else embrace uncertainty can shift your mindset from fear based to growth based
- Embrace being part of a new world – as they explore new places you are also exposed to new perspectives, cultures, ideas
- Rediscover your own voice – their boldness reminds you to reconnect with your own dreams, however different or audacious they may feel
Who needs you to pour into them today?
