Wow, Erika, thanks so much for this wonderful piece!

Tim and I want to make Struggling Forward as engaging as possible. One way we love to do this is by asking each contributor a question after reading each story, and hopefully this question sparks further conversation!

My question for you is, why do you think human instinct is to wait for the perfect alignment of the stars before going after something we know we love and desire?

Why do we not fear the “what if” more than the actual doing?
