Back then, I had an opportunity to work closely with someone who really resonated with me. And I didn’t take it. Not because it wasn’t aligned, but because I hadn’t yet learned how to bet on myself before the results. A few years later, that mindset shifted. I started taking chances. Saying yes sooner. Trusting myself earlier. That decision changed everything. I didn’t miss my path... I just took the longer route to believing in myself. Sharing this for anyone standing at a decision point right now: The confidence doesn’t come first. The leap does. I’m curious: Have you ever said no to something that later made you think, “I was closer to ready than I realized”?
