This Week's Lesson
I turn 24 tomorrow (how terrifying, that seems so old).
So today I wanted to share 24 of the most important lessons I learned…
Just kidding, that would take forever! But in all seriousness, I figured I’d share the number one most important lesson I learned over this past year. And it’s one I used to find the good in pretty much every aspect of my life.
Ready? Alright, here it is: Don’t be afraid to take a chance on yourself.
At the start of last year, I decided that 2023 was going to be the year I face my fears and take more risks (calculated risks, don’t worry). And face my fears and take more risks I did!
I asked that girl out. I quit my full-time job to start my own business. I learned how to ski even though I was terrified at first.
All these things, no matter how big or small they may seem, greatly improved my life and made my days more fun and fulfilling. And it was all because I decided to take a chance on myself.
So the next time you’re scared to do something or step outside your comfort, I encourage you to take a chance on yourself and do that thing anyways. I think you may just be surprised at what it’ll do for you.
