When I wrote Another Door Opens, one of the core steps I wanted to explore was “Try.” Not “Achieve,” not “Succeed,” but try. Because so often we dont allow ourselves to even try, and when we do we berate ourselves for the none achievements. But there’s a quiet joy in putting one foot forward, in testing an idea, in giving something a go, even when we don’t know what will come of it.

When things go wrong, when we face a setback, it’s easy to fall into default responses. We might catastrophise and imagine the worst. Or we might keep powering forward, ignoring the emotional impact entirely.
