The Audacity

by Katherine Ryan

You can do this too if you haven’t already. But first, you’ve got to stop apologising so much, stop wasting your time asking questions when the answer doesn’t matter or is going to be a lie, and start navigating your life with a self-assuredness that pisses some people off. I tried to throw my own tools away for a long time before accepting that I was better off learning to sharpen them instead. It wasn’t until I had nothing that I realised I had everything, and the more gratitude I had, the more abundance came my way. With regards to anxiety and conflict, try to remember that nothing matters very much, and little matters at all. Your peace should not be undervalued. Resilience is half the battle. You don’t need a long-term

term plan or a short-term plan – just wake up every day, wash your face and move forward with confidence. Some people will call that ‘audacity’. Let them.
