I can relate. My gut reaction is always to turn down opportunities like this because it’s uncomfortable and I’m afraid of what might happen. Even so, I will usually say “yes” to this stuff anyway, not because it’s easy or fun, but because I try to turn the line of questioning around. What if it DOES work out? What if it’s actually the key to me getting better? If it flops, that’ll suck, but I’d rather know I tried and said ‘yes’ to possibly than to lay on my death bed and wonder, “What if I had said yes? Where might my life have gone? What if I could’ve done better for myself or for the world?” It’s extremely difficult to willingly walk into what feels like a fire, but there is a ton of value in saying yes. Every good thing I’ve ever done only happened because I chose to say yes to something.
