GET OUT OF COMFORT ZONES

Perhaps the biggest change is this. There is a renewed sense of urgency to make the most of life. I no longer let fear hold me back in pursuing things I want to do. I started by embracing a beginner’s mindset. It allowed me to open up to new possibilities. With my husband’s encouragement, I joined my family in business as creative director, a field that is completely new to me. Every day is a learning process at The Good Co; it teaches me to be flexible, as well as to persevere and embrace challenges. It was a miracle I didn’t die that day. This second chance gave me the opportunity to view life differently. If something similar has happened to you, how would you change?
