Embrace the mindset that nothing and everything matters at the same time which can help overcome fears and inhibitions. Challenge yourself by taking risks, as the real risk lies in never trying. Understand that the ultimate risk is not seizing every opportunity in life, given the finality of existence.
Episode 121: Writer, Columbia Business School grad, and college athlete Jack Raines' essay, "The Opportunity Cost of Everything," forces readers to ask themselves the only question that really matters: If I was nearing the end of my life, would I be happy with how I am currently spending my time? It is a question that any human being must ask themselves periodically, but I find that it is especially relevant for entrepreneurs. There are many external forces that can push you down the path of making ego-driven decisions, and I believe this article is an important counterbalance to ground you.
