"Challenge yourself and take a risk."
One of the biggest roadblocks we face when learning new things is the fear of doing it wrong. We worry what others will think, and fear being judged by our peers.
Unfortunately, this often encourages us to play it safe or not even try. So, many opportunities come and go, because we're afraid to look foolish.
If you want to grow as a woman, it's time to stop worrying. Growth requires you to let down your guard and stop being self-conscious.
The reality is that others don't pay as much attention as you may think. Even if they do, are they going to remember three weeks from now? Probably not.
Resolve to take a risk, to put negative comments out of your head, and, most importantly, to forget about doing it wrong. If you let yourself, you will succeed – and inspire others to follow in your footsteps.

Rise above little things.
Be a big thinker.
You are what you think.
So just think big,
believe big,
act big,
dream big,
work big,
give big,
forgive big,
laugh big,
imagine big,
love big,
live big.
Carry that list and you'll start feeling big.
Be a believer and you'll be an achiever.
Why to persist
Don't get bogged down looking for a way to persist. Just make sure you're absolutely clear on why you have chosen to persist.
When there is an authentic why, there is true motivation. When there is a real, solid meaningful why, there is action.
Many times that action won't initially bring the desired results. When that happens, the most effective response is more action that's been informed and adjusted as a result of the previous attempt.
Even if you have no clue what to do, the way to learn is to do something and discover what happens. And the thing that will get you to do something, and then to do more, is knowing why.
There is no secret technique to discipline. There is no closely guarded insider information on how to persist.
You already know how to start, and how to keep going, and how to persist until you achieve the objective. To utilize that knowledge and that discipline, all you have to do is to truly know why.
