Ultimately, by acknowledging and accepting our fears as a normal human emotion, but knowing that it doesn't have to control us, that we can take risks anyway; that we need to try new things and push ourselves even though we feel apprehensive, scared, nervous, or uncertain; we open ourselves up to the possibility of growth, true fulfillment, and genuine happiness. We can take our fear with us, and we quickly find that as we overcome each challenge and embrace new experiences, then, and only then, do we get a step closer to a life well-lived and start to truly thrive. We leave behind a life of limiting ourselves, and feeling unfulfilled, yet 'safe.' Rather than sleep-walking through life, merely surviving and staying small, we grab life, shake it up, and get so much more from it - and I know which one appeals to me more!

Did you know that our thoughts influence our feelings, our mood, our behaviours, and ultimately, our well-being, yet we rarely take the time to pause and examine them? By simply asking ourselves, “What am I thinking?” we unlock the potential to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, improve our mood, foster emotional resilience, and create better outcomes in our personal and professional lives.

Failure sharpens our problem-solving skills. It nurtures resilience, perseverance, and creative thinking—skills that are critical not just in professional settings but in everyday life. Without failure, there is no challenge to overcome, no problem to solve, and no reason to grow.

I don’t often do this, but I have been researching the topic of living with and tackling depression and came upon a brilliant book. I thought it would be a wise idea to share it, just in case, it could help you or a loved one.

Lost Connections, by Johann Hari, is packed with really insightful stories, research, findings, and his own experience and is an easy and extremely helpful read. It is also available on Audiobook, narrated by himself. Johann Hari also has many free talks available on YouTube and it is definitely worth checking out his Ted Talk on the same subject. I hope it helps - I really would recommend it.
