What's the worst that can happen?

RejectionI can truly identify with the strength of this word. So many times in my own life I wouldn't dare to say or do something because of the fear of being rejected. Sometimes just the thought of the possibility would hold me back from pursuing something that I truly wanted. It was from an experience or two in my past that created the belief and held me in captivity. What's the worst that can happen? This is the question that I finally discovered helped me to break out of my fear. When I started to look at both senerios I realized that no matter what the outcome I would still be OK, it wasn't going to crush my spirit, though it might hurt for awhile I was going to survive.
