The Worst That Can Happen
SUMMARY
When it comes to anything worthwhile in life – difficult decisions, new risks, big dreams – there is always fear and uncertainty! This episode is a power-punch pep talk to remind you that you CAN live a life filled with the BEST that is possible, despite the worst that can happen. (Which, spoiler alert: isn’t actually that bad after all!)
In most situations, the absolute worst that can happen is that you feel a negative emotion, learn from it, and move through it!
REFERENCES
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
