It brings people together and don’t we all want that for our children, our families, our community, and the world?Try to be kind to others to try and make a difference in the world, and also practice to try and make a difference in your own life as well. Face your fear of failingThe fear of failing can be immobilizing – it can cause us to do nothing, and therefore resist moving forward. But when we allow fear to stop our forward progress in life, we're likely to miss some great opportunities along the way.what makes us fearless is not the fact that we do not experience fear, but that we are confident that we can deal with the consequences of our actions. Instead of talking yourself out of the fear by hoping that nothing negative would happen, focus on building confidence to deal with the consequences.BooksTry a free Audible trial of any book here (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audible-Free-Trial-Digital-Membership/dp/B00OPA2XFG?tag=samharris48%E2%80%9321)Perfectly Hidden Depression: How to Break Free from the Perfectionism That Masks Your Depression (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Perfectly-Hidden-Depression-Break-Perfectionism/dp/B087N4GGH7/ref=sr_1_1?crid=14WCW66NTXIGK&dchild=1&keywords=perfectly+hidden+depression&qid=1598980833&s=audible&sprefix=perfectly+hidd%2Caudible%2C335&sr=1-1) If you're ready to stop hiding and start healing, this groundbreaking book will guide you - every imperfect step of the waySyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.
