It goes without saying that it’s extremely helpful to adopt a mindset that values exploration and trying new and different things. Even if you only end up learning that you don’t like something, you have learned something important about yourself and you can use this new information to help you get where you want to go in life. Each new experience, positive or negative, brings with it new and vital knowledge you can use as stepping stones for the future. Think back to the last “big deal” you had to go through. Usually afterwards, we realize, “it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as we thought it would be.” And, if the truth be told, you probably have also increased your self-confidence by having another situation under your belt that you were able to handle successfully.
