That Nervous Little Friend

"Anxiety isn't the enemy. It's a guide to what you need to work on first." - Anonymous

Years ago my heart used to race whenever I entered a management staff meeting. In time I came to realize that I was putting too much pressure on myself to have all the answers. I've gotten better about answering some questions with "I'll have to check into that" or "Good question, I'll get back with you on that." Honesty, humility and hard work has proved to be a better path than pursuing perfection or popularity.

What's the worst that can happen? Rarely are things as bad as they seem. It's been a mental peacefulness potion.
