A few months ago a dear friend of many years asked if I’d like to do a trail run with him. Not just any trail run… THE trail run. He wanted to run from the south rim of the Grand Canyon to the north rim and then back to the south rim. I’d never heard of this before aside from him mentioning it on his bucket list a few times. Apparently it’s a big deal among trail runners and is called ‘Rim to Rim to Rim’ or ‘R3’ for short. I’m more of a road runner and so had little idea what he was even talking about.

I like to run and have done a few races, but what he described BLEW MY MIND. Gorgeous views combined with 10,000 feet of elevation gain over 44 miles… all in one day! It sounded HARD… like ridiculously HARD. My inner wussypants came on strong as I contemplated it, instantly rejecting the idea as ludicrous, absurd, and most of all SCARY…

I instantly knew two things… 1. It sounded like a complete and utter sufferfest 2. I probably…. run enough to be able to pull this off!

I also loved the idea of seeing so much of the grand canyon in one day and building more core memories with my bff. It would also mean I’d be leveling up as a runner. I’d done a couple marathons before, but nothing near this challenging or long.

So there I was… contemplating this absolutely bonkers idea and feeling the inner wussypants within me come on STRONG. Thats when I knew the choice was obvious (pending my wifey’s OK of course!)… I HAD to do it! I could not let my inner wuss win! You let your inner wuss win one to many times… you BECOME a wuss! Plain and simple.

Wether in business or any other part of life there is NO PLACE for wusses! At least none that I want any part of. Being a wuss means when something scares you… you back down, retreat, or come up with excuses. The world is full of wusses… and I knew I could just as easily become a wuss as the next guy. It’s all about the choices I make each day.

Now of course you don’t have to go do some crazy run… but what is it that you’ve been a wuss about recently? What challenges are you avoiding OUT OF FEAR that are keeping you from ascending to the next level? What are you confident you CAN do but DON’T DO because it scares you? Be it work, life, whatever. Will you step up to the challenge? Or… be a wussypants….
