Anything can happen to anyone at any point.
The other day, I was sending a batch of emails to universities to be invited to speak to their students on different ways to use #curiosity as a tool in rewriting their #story.
Seconds before I hit “send”, a strong feeling came over me.
The feeling of uncertainty.
I am by no means a stranger to it.
I’ve experienced it thousands of times before.
The questions of, “What if they don’t hire me? What if they don’t respond?”
I chose not to react.
Rather, I sat there, in silence, and observed what I was experiencing.
Moments after the initial thoughts, a different thought had entered my mind.
It was a memory from a distant past.
Words of a friend from one of our many conversations.
“Great things can happen to you, too.”
Simple, yet powerful.
His words helped me transform much of my uncertainty into opportunity.
I repeated them out loud.
I noticed my mood change, instantly.
I felt empowered.
Great things can happen to you, too.
