I'll preface this without any fluff - It will be tough. It will be difficult. On most days, you wonder if you're ever gonna make it through. You won't know if it'll be worth it in the end, because you have no inkling of what the future holds.

But, you know what's worst? Not trying at all. Staying by the shore. Going about life with what if-s plaguing your sanity. Having the what-could-have-been reel playing at the back of your head every night just before you drift off into slumber.

Admittedly, Change has been nerve-wracking this time around. It requires a herculean amount of effort (daily!) to keep at it and not throw in the towel.

Here's the thing - When you try, you win.

So, try. Take a step into the great unknown. Plunge right in. Be absolutely immersed. And when the waves overwhelm you, (borrowing from the words of a very wise fish) just keep swimming. Eventually, you'll get there.
