If you’re asking yourself…

“What if it doesn’t work out?” You can also ask yourself, “What if it does?”

Because in reality, you don’t know.

If you don’t know whether it could happen or not, would it not be better to assume the positive? Perhaps pessimism is a defense mechanism for failure, but it can also be a barrier to growth.

Lean into uncertainty, and if there is little harm to trying and a potential for greater good, do that thing you feel uncertain about.

And I know it’s a similar topic to what I shared last week, but it’s important. Don’t live your life wondering what if… Live your life knowing you tried.
