If there is any advice I can give to my kids…now, more than ever – don’t be afraid.

This includes the things you don’t know about.

There are risks in life and most actually, are not life threatening.

I am talking about the steps you might need to take to put yourself out there.

• Offer to do some thing unknown, untested, unproven.
• Step up and take on a challenge.
• Agree to do something you just don’t know about yet.
• You can’t learn until you try it for yourself. Book knowlegde will only get you so far.

You can start with the data; the information you need to make an educated choice, but you will still need to take a chance, take a risk and walk on the edge.

Even today, there are few things worse in your mind, than going beyond your comfort zone and trying something you’re not sure you can do.

If you truly have the will, the desire and the interest to go further, trust yourself and don’t be afraid. You may not be able to do everything, but you can certainly do more than you are now.
