Do one thing every day that scares you...

Well I've certainly been following this bit of advice lately, starting last week when I saw a job advertised for somewhere I've wanted to work for as long as I've known the place existed.

A few days later I had to do another scary thing and go for an interview for the job. I was very close to cancelling as I convinced myself that, though I was the right person for the job, it was really bad timing due to various factors.

By the end of this same day I was having to carry out my second scary act of the day. I had to make a decision about leaving a current job and starting a new one...

A day later and I had to do possibly the scariest task in all of this and hand in my notice. This did not go well.

Only a day later and I was starting my first shift with my new company, terrified of meeting the new work colleagues and equally scared that I would mess up.

It's a wonder I hadn't scared myself to death by the end of the week but I'm still here to tell the tale and move on to bigger and better things. No doubt facing more fears along the way and celebrating with cake...
