What are you afraid of?
What if you apply for that job (or 50 jobs) and you don’t get it?
What if you ask her out and she says no?
What if you go out with him and it’s not everything you hope for?
What if you throw the party and no one shows up?
What if you tell your family the truth and they reject you?
What if you publish your book and no one reads it?
What if you try something new and you end up hating it?
What if you get the screening and find out it’s cancer?
What if you try and fail?
What if you get fired?
What if they don’t like you?
What if you talk to him about that thing and he breaks up with you? 
What if…
Sometimes we get so up in our heads, we’re afraid to do anything.
We spend our whole lives just going through motions and focusing on urgent tasks, putting out fires, but never taking a risk to go after what we really want.
We continue down the same path because it’s well-worn and comfortable.
But what if we’re traveling in a rut? What if we’re going the wrong way entirely? What if we need a course correction?
If you feel a nudging in your heart, a desire to do something bold and different, I’d love to chat with you about it.
Because, what if it turns out amazing?
What if they love you?
What if it is cancer and you catch it early and take care of it swiftly, and go on to live an amazing life afterward?
Or what if you do realize you only have a little time left? Would you live differently?
Wouldn’t you rather know? Wouldn’t you rather try?
You can always pivot. You can always go down a path and turn around and come back home, make a slight course correction, or hop onto a new trail.
(I’m all about the pivot. I’ve pivoted more times than most people, and I’ve learned how to bounce back from failure, heartbreak, and loss. I’d love to help you with this!)
Because you only have one life to live – and it’s yours. You are worthy. You are important. You are special.
No matter what has happened. No matter what mistakes you’ve made.
