Ask Yourself, “What’s the worst that can happen?”
I’m a sucker for new projects because I always like to learn new things. It allows me to grow, and continue to reach for goals I never thought I could. Often times, I will run into minor mishaps, and things don’t go as planned, but I always remind myself that it’s not the worst that can happen. We have to be realistic, and know that failure happens. Try not to dwell on it either because it will leave you in that same bubble you won’t be able to get out of. The most important lesson – move on and don’t look back.

Jennifer, I often ask myself that question before I step outside of my comfort zone. The great thing is, though, my comfort zone is rather large. Over the years I’ve adopted an “I don’t care what people think” attitude, and that cancels out any fear I would have about doing something and wondering what’s going through the mind of others. This is a wonderful step!
