What's the Worst That Can Happen?

I think this is an important question that is not given enough thought.

When it comes down to it, I'm under the impression that most people would answer this "I could die." Many of our daily actions are fear-fueled in an attempt to avoid death. But is this the worst that can happen?

Spoiler alert: We're all going to die. [Now, in the coming decades this may not be the case, but let's work under the assumption that we are.]

So, if dying is a natural human function, is it really the worst thing that could happen? I no longer believe so. I think the worst thing that can happen is never truly knowing one's self.

There's a substantial amount of data from people interviewed at the end of their lives saying their biggest regrets were from things they didn't do, not things they had done and wished they hadn't.

Based on this, I'd encourage everyone to take more risks--as long as it's something you want to do. Dance with the fear. Conquer it on your quest to love.

Really ask yourself: What's the Worst That Can Happen?
