What is stopping you from applying for that dream job? Or why don't you shoot your shot? When it comes to progressing in life I think the biggest thing that inhibits our progress is ourselves and our fear or failure or rejection. But if you don't try then you will never know! And if you don't try then you will never learn from the experience or be able to grow as an individual. Like I have said before, every moment is a learning experience whether it's good or bad, and there is always something you can take away.
