You haven’t met every version of yourself yet. Some of them show up only after you say yes to something scary.

You only know the versions of yourself that your life so far has called for. Others exist and stay hidden because nothing has demanded them yet: the one who can speak in front of a room, who is calm in a crisis, who is good with small children. They appear only once you are in the situation, which means much of what you believe about your limits is untested rather than true.

Say yes to one mildly frightening thing this term. Then notice who turned up to do it.
