Fear Is a Terrible Reason Not to Do Something

Take some risks

What’s the worst that can happen?

No, seriously. What is it?

Fear causes all of us to miss out on great opportunities. Sometimes that fear is warranted, but often it’s not.

It could be taking a new job, trying a new hobby, going on a first date, moving, or anything really.

Next time you want to say no to something out of fear, ask yourself, what’s the worst that can happen?

And be honest with yourself. Don’t exaggerate the risk to give yourself an excuse to play it safe.

I’m not suggesting you put yourself in physical danger or risk financial ruin, but take some darn risks in life.
