Fortune is not on the side of the faint-hearted.

Good outcomes rarely arrive for people who stay entirely out of their way. Chance needs something to work on: an application sent, a question asked, a conversation you were nervous to start. Hesitation feels like safety, but mostly it narrows the number of things that can go right for you.

Look at whatever you have been circling for weeks without committing to. Make the smallest real version of the move, the one that costs little if it fails and still puts you in contact with the possibility. Nerve here means acting before you feel ready, not acting without thought.
