I can’t tell you how many times in a week I second-guess myself. “Does this sound right?” “Will this fit the theme?” “Are we sure it falls in line with the goals?” This hesitation, whether it’s brought on by nerves, anxiety, or just plan confusion, often decides to pop up at the most…convenient…moments.
