“What’s the worst that could happen?”

This question, by far, has led to the most important and life-altering breakthroughs in my life.

When thinking about a new business idea, why not ask for a friend’s feedback?

When figuring out which diet to choose, why not try them all?

When you debate on whether or not to call that friend you haven’t reached out to in a while, why not text them first?

When you put yourself in a state of mind to consider the worst possible outcome, the road back to the present becomes much less scary.

You often paint ourselves yourself into a corner. I have to fight the urge to do this all the time.

You could get out of that corner anytime you want. After all, it’s just paint.

If you found value in this story, please give it some claps. 👏
