Ask yourself, “What’s the worse that can happen, and can I live with it?” Is a low rating on a speech, or the failure to close a deal, or the dislike of your idea the end of your life? We ineffably inflate the potential risks of our undertakings until they are insurmountable consequences instead of minor setbacks.
Mindset: Remember that no one is shooting at you, and everyone fails at something daily but our lives continue, full of more opportunity for success.
