There will be opportunities we go for that don’t pan out. There will be opportunities that we go for that conjure feelings of inferiority. There will be people that make us feel we aren’t worthy of specific opportunities. There will be times when we don’t believe in ourselves.

But we need to remember one thing:

We will always miss 100% of the opportunities we don’t pursue.

So, pursue new ideas, new habits, new careers, new relationships, new places, new actions, and new decisions that bring you out of your comfort zone.

Believe that you are 100% worthy.
