You've got one shot in your life, make the most of it! The fact that you're born into this world and still alive reading this article, demonstrates how lucky you are. Scientists estimate that the odds of you existing are about 1 in 4 hundred trillion. That's crazy odds! Not only are you lucky, you're a one of a kind with your own personality and way of thinking. This makes you lucky and special!
When I was young, my parents made my two younger sisters and I try many sports and activities. From there, my sisters and I gravitated towards certain sports and community organizations that we enjoyed and had an interest in. My sisters and I continue to do this as adults, trying new things for our careers, community, and personal lives. We push ourselves into uncomfortable territory, but find pleasure in learning, developing skills, and building relationships. However, by exposing ourselves to risk, the greater potential of failure and criticism can be stressful. I've had my share of failures. I see failure as part of the process to learn, grow, and evolve. Everyone has a different stress tolerance so it's good to assess your goals and strategize on how to execute them. By writing your thoughts and research down, you get a better feel of the system you'll create for yourself, the daily work placed into your calendar that you'll need to accomplish in order to get to your various stages of your vision. By doing this, you mitigate some of your risk.
Further, the risks you take to fulfill a dream you have is not going to kill you, unless, you're planning to do something that risks your life. Yet, your animalistic fears still get triggered when you get anxious of the future such as whether your project will fail or whether you'll be attacked and ridiculed by critics. You feel like a saber tooth tiger is pursuing you. Your mind can blow your fears out of proportion. Focus on what you can control and don't let the uncontrollable things take you down. When you succeed, all the worries will be for nothing. If you do fail, you'll learn, and then pivot to make your next moves, evolving as you proceed on. Either way, you still gain a lot a value: skills, knowledge, and relationships that will propel you forward!
