You have many ‘urgent’ things hogging your time and attention today. Ask yourself, which ones are a race to the bottom? Because, as Seth Godin said, the bottom is not a good place to be, even if you’re capable of getting there.

You can’t think straight when afraid. No one has ever made a good decision based on fear. Stare down your fear and stay calm. #staysafe #staycalm

@BellaMiruka What you’re currently doing is truly a new (and scary) start.

For most, doing something new is more scary than retrying something that failed before.
