Determination and focus are amplified in your public-facing life right now. So if a new work role calls out to you, you want to run for president of your PTA, or you’re motivated to begin a blog, do so now. Be persistent. Draft up an action plan and pursue it. No, you can’t know how it’ll turn out. But when you say yes to the projects and offerings that fuel you, and no to the ones that don’t, you boost your courage.
