Wowzers, what a brilliant post. I loved the cherokee story, that really hit home. I liked how you brought up what opportunity requires and related it back to a reminder to yourself.

You aren't wrong at all, it takes a mixture of compassion and courage to seize the day and make the most out of it. It's something that grows over time, and varying mistakes.

It is never the end of the world.

It's not. This phrase is how I deal with my confidence :)
