It’s not easy to step out of the familiar, even if it’s uncomfortable, but that’s where growth and true freedom happen. Thanks for sharing that insight, Elizabeth! It’s an important piece of the conversation.

Also, at the WTC there were people on the speakers saying stay where you are. The situation is under control. Following foolish orders is part of this fear of change.

Thanks for sharing that, Sky! Following orders without question, especially when fear is involved, can keep us stuck. Trusting our instincts and pushing for change, even when it's hard, is how we break free.
