“Your principles don’t need to be elaborate or even completely original, but they should ring true to you and fit within your own set of core beliefs.”
Ruth Soukup, Do It Scared: Finding the Courage to Face Your Fears, Overcome Adversity, and Create a Life You Love

“When you make a conscious choice to stop worrying about all the ways you might screw up and focus instead only on what you can learn from the experience, you give yourself the power to simply try, regardless of what the outcome will be.”
Ruth Soukup, Do It Scared: Finding the Courage to Face Your Fears, Overcome Adversity, and Create a Life You Love

“It’s not always easy to write your own rules, especially when you are most comfortable with following other people’s rules.”
Ruth Soukup, Do It Scared: Finding the Courage to Face Your Fears, Overcome Adversity, and Create a Life You Love

“The only way to truly overcome your insecurities and fears of not being capable is to start proving to yourself that you actually are capable.”
Ruth Soukup, Do It Scared: Finding the Courage to Face Your Fears, Overcome Adversity, and Create a Life You Love

“Make a point of practicing imperfect action—do one thing each day just to do it, not because it needs to be “right.”
Ruth Soukup, Do It Scared: Finding the Courage to Face Your Fears, Overcome Adversity, and Create a Life You Love
