BUSINESS I got over the fear of rejection early as I processed the realities of divorce. I learned to lean in to vulner- ability when I was afraid because leaning out left me detached from even the good feelings such as joy, love, and fulfillment.

So when anyone tells you your goals are impossible, I suggest that you ask them what they would do if they knew they could not fail. If they can’t answer, you’ll know where they’ll be in three years.
