“Will it work?” Along the way, we’ve been pushed to load our decisions with a need for certainty. It’s easier, it seems, to not try than it is to fail. But the question, “is it worth trying?” unlocks possibility. A surgeon in the middle of an operation should probably not experiment with an untested technique. But a writer, a leader or a musician can make that question part of their craft. It’s the only way we learn.

REFLECTION:
- Do you “not try” for fear of failure?
- Can you unlock a new possibility by trying something out of your comfort zone?
- Are you open to learning something new… add to your craft.
- It is worth trying!
