I may not have even thought about it before. It may be that you don’t count your experiences as note-worthy. Maybe you think there is little worth sharing concerning your days.

In a sense, you are inviting significant change into your world, an admitted fear by many and unavoidable constant for all. The only way to combat that fear of the unknown is to go for it. Make it happen. Take the step in front of you.
