If you’re afraid of change, you need to read this.

Our optimism about the future is a direct result of our confidence in being able to overcome challenges. This means the better we become at overcoming the more optimistic we feel about our futures.

When you know you’ve overcome a lot you start to believe you can achieve a lot.

But it’s not easy until it’s ‘easy’.

Remember how difficult cursive writing used to be? (If you’re curious about where you were at when you first started, try writing with your non-dominant hand!) It wasn’t easy starting, but with practice, it got easier, right? The same goes for facing challenges!

It may never be easy because your challenges are bigger every time (Hint: because you’re reaching for bigger things). So you can’t expect your challenges to get smaller just because you’re becoming a pro at overcoming them.

But something that does get smaller is your fear of change.

And when you’re less afraid of change, you’ll start to anticipate change and opportunities in a different light—things feel less like ‘change’ and more like an opportunity. And if you’re a go-getter, you love opportunities!

I hope this spoke to someone today 🤍
