Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• All I can feel is how much I’ll regret wasting everything I’ve already put in if I stop
• I keep going back and forth on whether to take the leap or play it safe, and what I really want to know is which one the older me will lie awake wishing I’d chosen
• I’m stuck at the edge of a huge life decision and the fear right now is so loud it’s drowning everything else out
• When I imagine being old and looking back, I don’t think it’s the risky things I tried that I’ll regret
• All I can picture is how much it’ll hurt if I try this and it blows up in my face, so I keep not doing it
