Learn to flinch forwards

I downloaded a free Kindle edition of a book called "The Flinch" yesterday.

If you are feeling, or have EVER felt, stuck, I strongly advise you to download this book now, or as soon as possible.

The dictionary definition of flinch is:

1. to draw back or shrink, as from what is dangerous, difficult, or unpleasant.
2. to shrink under pain; wince

We all flinch at the point where we step outside our comfort zones into our learning zones, and most of us flinch backwards into the "supposed" safety of our comfort zones.

In "The Flinch", Julien Smith likens our lives to a long corridor filled with closed doors behind which lie new possibilities and the life of our dreams.

Fear of the flinch keeps us going down the same corridor that looks the same all the way down to the end.

To quote from the book:

"The secret to overcoming the flinch is that everyone wants you to succeed. People are looking for proof that you can be amazing so that they can be amazing, too."

Take a look and learn to flinch forwards instead of backwards.
