1. Ask yourself “What’s important?” Take a step back and think about what’s important to you. What do you really want to be doing, who do you want to spend your time with, what do you want to accomplish with your work? Make a short list of 4-5 things for your life, 4-5 people you want to spend…

2. Keep your eyes on your future; don’t be dragged down by your past. The path ahead is open; there’s so much more that you can be.
3. Make the decision to overcome your fear.…
