Five or six years ago, I briefly dated a stand up comedian. And let me tell you - even though it didn't work out, I learned a lot about bravery from this relationship. Seeing my S.O. and friends up on stage, even though they were scared, was inspiring.
Sometimes they did great; other times the crowd awkwardly chuckled or was silent. But each success or failure helped the comedians grow. Without getting up on that stage, they didn't make progress.
Anyway - that's what I'm doing here: getting up on the stage. Being brave and trying something new, even if I suck at it. Even if the audience is just a couple of friends that I send this link to.
I don't know where this quote originally came from, but it's definitely the theme of this blog.
"Be brave enough to suck at something new."
