Don’t Be Afraid

Don’t be afraid to ask for help
Don’t be afraid to admit you’re wrong
Don’t be afraid to be uncomfortable
Don’t be afraid to not know
Don’t be afraid to not be the smartest person in the room

As we try to be experts in our “field” there will eventually be times when we need some help, have to admit we’re wrong, we’re uncomfortable, don’t have the answer, and aren’t the one with all the answers.

That’s ok. Really it is. Being afraid is what will keep us sharp, hungry, and wanting more. Fear is good. When we lose the fear we become complacement. Complacency leads to lack of passion, which eventually morphs into being useless.

So the next time you’re afraid…embrace it.
