This is not rocket surgery.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, but recycled by Kurt Vonnegut in the commencement address he gave at MIT in 1997.

I did something that scares me today. I registered for a spinning class. Oh, how I wish I would be taught to make yarn out of wool using a big wooden wheel, but no. It’s the 45-minute ass-kicking that I’ve been too chicken to try. Since I am fundamentally lazy, even when running on a treadmill, it seems an ass-kicking is in fact what I need. I really hope I don’t embarass myself by falling off the bike, puking, passing out or all three.
