There are a number of things I am deeply afraid of- heights,
chair lifts, spiders and jumping into a pool. Even though I am afraid, I do fly
and occasionally get on a chair lift or gondola but jumping into a pool is
something I almost never do. This is ironic since our home has an inground
pool!
I know for sure it is a mind over matter issue, which is why I love
watching my kids and the neighbourhood kids go barrelling into the pool. They
approach life without hang-ups with a learning mindset- all opportunities are
to be seized, not analyzed.
Sometimes a thinking approach is called for. There are times
when careful analysis, consideration and even caution are necessary. However,
just as often there are opportunities where we should just take the plunge. Depending
on your personality you will have a preference for one style of decision making
over the other.
This year commit to trying to use both styles. It may be
uncomfortable at first but as my kids always assure me the water is warm!
