When we feel bad about ourselves, others will have a hard time liking us, too. If we worry so much about failing that we don’t even play the game, we’ll fail to grow. If we don’t take a risk because we’re scared of loss, we’ll lose anyway. If we avoid being friendly because we fear rejection, we’ll miss the chance to meet and connect with wonderful people. Sometimes things will work out, sometimes not. But that’s true even if we stay home and do nothing. The world is our playground if…
We’re willing to play.
