Jeff, love this post! I can't tell you how much your 3 guidelines - 1. Embrace the Suck 2. Do It in Public 3. Pick Stuff That Matters - have changed my life, and the lives of many other Chicagoans, via Fear Experiment (http://macncheeseproductions.com/fear-experiment), where folk sign up by themselves to learn an art form they "suck" at (improv, dance, stepping, a capella...) and then after 3 months of rehearsal, perform in front of 700+ at one of Chicago's top theaters. It started off as a silly way for me to cross "dance hip-hop on stage" off my Life To Do List (I'm a horrible dancer), and three years later has turned into a way for people to create amazing relationships, challenge themselves, and be rockstars. All rooted in your 3 tips! So inspired when I hear of others doing or encouraging Living Fully, so thanks for sharing.
