I’ve Never Done This Before
I’ve never done this before are words we utter far too often. We feed ourselves the lie that we can’t accomplish something because we’ve never attempted it before.
We put dreams on hold. We stop challenging ourselves. We begin living complacent lives.
All because of 5 words we’ve given power over our lives.

The Lie
When we begin telling ourselves we’ve never done something before, it begins to limit our potential. The lie tells us we’re inexperienced. Not needed. Or it’s too dangerous for us.
Instead of using I’ve never done this before as a reason to experience new adventures in life, we use it as a crutch to avoid the attempt. And possibility of failure.
It’s really an excuse to cover our fears.
“Men go to far greater lengths to avoid what they fear than to obtain what they desire.”
— Dan Brown
