Key Lessons:
1) Remember when you are learning something new there is a learning curve. You can figure it, but you must engage in the process of learning.
2) Take on reroutes with curiosity to move through the fear of failure. Embrace the reroutes because they could take you on a journey to your now.
3) Instead of thinking about the fear of failure, refocus on how you are contributing to the people involved. Broaden your perspective and focus on your experiences with others.
