We miss out on opportunities when we only ask what could go wrong. It's also worth asking what could go right.
Change carries risk: we might fail. But sticking to the status quo also brings risk: we might fail to grow.
It's better to test and learn than to never test at all.
Be humble. Be teachable. The universe is bigger than your view of the universe. There's always room for a new idea. Humility is necessary for growth. 🧠
