𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩. 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭?

Have you heard this popular quote: You never realise the value of something until it's gone?

Today I thought about the flip side: 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡.

Many of us have been sitting on certain decisions because of fear. You are too afraid to move because of fear of the unknown. "What if I fail?" you ask, but 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟, "𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐈 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝?"

Imagine a baby not attempting to walk because it is so terrified of falling. If it stayed terrified, it would never learn to walk.

The baby must take little steps forward, experiencing many falls along the way, until it can finally take several steps unassisted and without falling.

𝐃𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠. Apply for that job, scholarship, promotion, speaking opportunity etc. Don't overthink it and don't auto-reject yourself.

Remember I shared yesterday that you are the architect of your destiny and are not allowed to be a spectator in your creation story.

𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲, 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭? 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞!
