Some people will avoid an opportunity out of an aversion to change, pure and simple. These people end up bitter and regretful. I urge you not to join them. Take the plunge and grab the opportunity.
I definitely took the plunge and grabbed an opportunity this time when I saw a chance to become a TEFL teacher in Japan I signed up quickly. Sure, I’m excited about it but also still nervous. As I learn more about what is required in this new adventure, my fears and self barriers ease away.
