BOLD POINTS:

If the questions “Oh no, what now? What next?”or similar come up for you, go with what you’re good at, *and* why not try something you’re interested in, so it doesn’t remain an unanswered question in your life.

If you want to be fully engaged, you’ve got to go for it. Remember the fence post analogy? Throw that other leg over and go all in.

Have faith. You can be scared and do it anyway.

To progress, you’ll have to step out of your comfort zone.

In God’s economy, there is no loss.

You’re never alone.

Enjoy what you have, and you’ll have even more blessings.

Everything feeds your next step.

To help get through a struggle, keep the perspective of “I’m learning, I’m growing, and I’m moving forward.”

Find someone you trust and who you can share your truth with.

True energy, passion, and excitement makes things click together more easily.
