Last year became my “just jump” year. As my way of conquering my fear, I decided to jump out of a plane. The actual exhilaration from jumping was amazing, but I used the mantra of “just jump” in so many other parts of my life. The biggest “jump jump” moment was when I quit a job that was making me miserable to become a freelance copywriter. Best move I’ve made in a long time!

To anyone else who is being held back by fear, I say, “jump jump!” You’ll be glad that you did!
