One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.
– Abraham Maslow

Choosing to go forward is scary.  You don’t know what lies ahead, what’s going to happen, if it’s all going to work out or if it’s all going to fall apart. But what other choice do you have?  Yes, you could choose to stay the same, but is that what you want? To stay the same and never chance? I think the better option is to go forward.

I recently started a new position at my school, and it’s scary.  I’m not going to lie, I didn’t necessarily want the position. I was scared, but I made a choice to go forward and tackle this new position with everything I have.  Why?  Because I don’t want to remain stagnant.  I don’t want to stay the same.  I want to go forward toward the future.

I think we all are afraid of change. The unknown is scary and change represents the unknown.  The unknown is scary, but you need to go forward.  Overcome your fear, face it head on and don’t back down from it. Go forward to your future.
