One of my best go-to survival skills, second only to a good, slightly wacky sense of humor, is the question, “What’s the worst that could happen?”
I do this particularly when an idea gives me pause, scares me a bit, or a lot. It’s a healthy change of perspective that helps me assess more rationally, rather than solely on emotion.
I change my perspective, weighing possible paths, I then come up with what I think is the best course of action. Then I ask, “What’s the worst thing that could happen?” If I can handle that worst outcome, I give myself the green light. Works for me. What is a go-to survival skill for you?
