The Host

You can play out any kind of scenario, any kind of, well, okay, this will happen and then maybe I'll have an opportunity here. But you don't know that. That's prepping yourself. That's great. And you should be well prepared. But don't let that be the barrier to you doing something. Don't let that be the thing that just like keeps you from ever trying something new. Because what is the worst case?

The worst case is that you don't do it. That's the truth. Now, maybe there are other things you're thinking of doing that you're like, wait a minute, this might not be, well, legal. Don't do that, obviously, right? But just be on the same page with yourself and know, is this something I want to do? And do I know what the risk is? Do I know what the worst case scenario is?

Do I know what it will look like if I'm trying to start a business and I lose all of my money in it? Am I okay with that? Am I okay with potentially getting rejected from this if I put time into this? Am I cool with that? Yeah, I'm cool with that. I mean, it is what it is. Great. Take that risk. Are you cool with potentially that friend, you know, that you... They're not your friend.

They're your crush. But you say they're your friend. Going up to them and telling them how you feel. Are you okay with potentially it being a little bit awkward afterwards or things happening that you have no control over? You know what? You live once. I'm going to do it. What about that other friend? That other crush? No. No. Why? Because no. Because I don't want to risk it. And you know what?

Things are as good as they're going to get. And I like where we're at. That's a good answer too. Don't pressure yourself into anything you don't want to do. When I started asking myself what was the worst thing that could happen or what was the worst case, I found so much freedom in being able to pursue something and just try something.

And oftentimes in our minds, we make something way worse than it actually is. We make it into this insane, convoluted problem when really it's a simple solution oftentimes. We're in this crazy argument. Oh my goodness, I don't know what to do. Oh, we're at each other's throats. A 15 minute conversation later, you're friends again. Oh my goodness.

Oh, I have so many of these exams I need to study for. I just like, no, I'm going to put it off. I'm going to put it off. An hour into studying, you realize this isn't that hard. I actually got this. And actually it's a repeat of last chapter. So I already know most of this, right? Making this monster out of our problems, I think, is what buries a lot of people into a hole of regret.

They can't get out of. Because it just compounds and it builds into this thing that just feels so much bigger than you and you have no control over it. When in reality, you do. You do. And... I've had to be very patient with myself and be able to talk to myself and be like, okay, I know I'm afraid. I know I'm scared. I know I am anxious about this thing, but what is the absolute worst case?
