I love the optimism and it's really great life advice for anyone. But I also have to say - not everyone is naturally a risk taker. Some people are more logical, and some people are more comfortable and happy that way. It's a great idea to take risks though, because it always makes you really put yourself out there and learn something from the process. Jamie, I think this is one of your best posts so far.

I especially love point number one. I always take people’s advice with a grain of salt—especially when they are trying to talk me out of doing something my gut is telling me to go for it. Definitely something I keep in mind when naysayers come around. No one knows you better than you. Jamie, another great post. I especially love point number one.

The being afraid is so completely worse than the diving in. So, has twitter hired you yet? Lady, you totally know what’s up. The being afraid is so completely worse than the diving in. So, has twitter hired you yet?

These are great Jamie, really. I've gotta agree with you that the very best way to learn and grow in life is to screw up. Like the guy says at the end of Jerry Maguire - "In life, to be honest, I’ve failed as much as I’ve succeeded." It's also true that perhaps the biggest reason people don't go after what the truly want is that they run the risk of not getting it. Is there anything as heart breaking as going after your hearts desire and not getting it? Yeah, not even trying in the first place. Keep doing what you're doing Jamie. PS: Ellen dancing is one of those things that always makes me grin from ear to ear...! How did you get to be so damn bright?
