You now know what it is to face-plant as a full-grown adult.
And suddenly you become a person who flinches at the ledge.
Overthinking wants you to exhaust yourself to the point of overwhelm, with the main goal of getting you to shut down and back yourself away from taking the next leap. Instead, when you feel yourself spiraling out, learn to rest your mind rather than pushing harder. Get quiet enough to let the answers find you. This is when you’ ll realize you never needed someone else’ s step-by-step instructions. You had the blueprint to truly innovate inside you all along.
