Monthly Mindset, July 2021: Patience

One of my biggest fears is missing out on an opportunity due to indecision. Could be a new role, person, situation; the list goes on. At the same time, that fear is matched with the thought of that opportunity not materializing whatsoever. It’s a dangerous game I play trying to remain balanced. How do I stay in the middle?
