Research shows how many of us regret what we don’t ultimately accomplish in our lives. Fear often keeps us from living the life we want as well as attaining the careers we should thrive in. Making the leap to create change, however, is about being afraid, but doing it anyway. During a “year of no fear,” author Grace Killelea discovered just how true that was. She made the leap by literally jumping and found out in the process that letting go of perfection was as liberating as the jump itself.
