I Double Dare You

Okay, I'm probably dating myself, but do any of you remember the Nickelodeon show Double Dare? I don't remember much about it other than that there was a surplus of gooey green slime and that I loved it.

Anyway. Tangent.

Don't you think half the battle is daring to begin? Why are we so paralyzed by the thought of starting something? Are we afraid of failure, of learning that we aren't good enough, that we don't have the gumption to follow through?

But how sad is it if we never dare to begin?

Are you intimidated by the idea of beginning something new? Is there something that you wish you had the guts to begin? Does it scare you that you might never begin? What shows do your kids watch? Is it just me or are they not nearly as innocent and fun as Double Dare of latter day?
