My recruiter told me over and over never to volunteer when I joined the Military. That theme was a constant one throughout my 8 years in the Air Force. It didn’t work! I was “Volunteered” anyway on my first day in Boot Camp by our Drill Instructor!
I hated being volunteered, and I hated the job I was volunteered for that I had to preform every moment of every day for 8 weeks!
Turns out it was the best thing that could have happened to me!
Being Volunteered to be a leader of the 80 men who were in our Boot Camp Flight forced me to grow, learn, stretch and fail on epic levels! I was already afraid without the extra responsibility but suddenly, I was accountable for 80 others at age 18.
If I were given a choice at the time, I would have never accepted it…Thank God I was Volunteered!
When we avoid the scary things in life, we avoid the Greatness life has planned for us! You cannot have success in any area of your life without Volunteering for the Scary!
Your job, business or profession are all looking for someone to volunteer to do the Scary! The majority of the people will do what I was taught to do: avoid eye contact, blend in, and don’t do anything to attract attention.
Basically, we are all trying to be AVERAGE and if you succeed at living out your life running from the scary things you will have wasted a life!
What is happening at your work place that needs a volunteer? What problem can you solve? What scary responsibility can you volunteer for?
Living a FULL life is hidden in the SCARY things. Volunteer to do what most people run from and you will find your Destiny.
Find Your Passion and You Will Find Your Life!
