#401: Worry Is Not A Strategy (Friday, September 5)

"Of course I realized there was a measure of danger. Obviously I faced the possibility of not returning when I first considered going. Once faced and settled, there really wasn't any good reason to refer to it." - Amelia Earheart, referring to her flight in the Friendship

You've probably heard the saying, "Don't worry about the things you can't control." But what about the things you can? Once I was talking to someone and mentioned that I was worried about the outcome of an upcoming project. The person responded, "Worry is not a strategy." It's always stuck with me, and the more I thought about it, I realized that worrying about a project, where I had control of the outcome, was literally betting against myself.

This week's action: Take a risk...on yourself. 

Why we're doing it: Trust yourself and your abilities. Who better to take a risk on than yourself?
