Dare to do.

What are you daring to do? Too many of us are too comfortable, doing the same routine in familiar circumstances with the same people. My challenge to YOU today is to be daring. Do something innovative, different, out of your comfort zone. Imagine what COULD be if you were to dream a little bigger, broaden your perspective, widen your box. Dare today to take on a new challenge. Here are some simple suggestions to start:

1. Learn a new skill. Take a class that teaches you something completely new -- car repair, Microsoft Excel, boxing.

2. Meet someone new. Visit a civic club in your community and meet someone new. Take them out for coffee or Zoom virtually. Intentionally look to start a relationship with someone new.

3. Bring a dream to fruition. Write down a vision for a dream you've had -- perhaps a new one, perhaps an oldie but goodie. How would it look to make it happen? What would you need to do to start down the path? Write it down and get it started!

4. Serve another. Where can you go to do something for someone else? Could you volunteer at a nonprofit? Read to kids at an elementary school? Pick up the tab for someone at a drive-thru? Look for ways to serve someone today.

What could you DARE to do today?
