I thought today about all the ways our nerves get the best of us.

• Questions we don’t ask.

• Risks we don’t take.

• Products we don’t ship.

• Music we don’t make.

• Thoughts we don’t think.

• Words we don’t write.

I suppose the list goes on.

New concept? Hardly. But it makes me think: how powerful the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves must be.
