We place too much onus on considering and evaluating potential outcomes of our actions and inactions. I find that most things that we are involved in are not make or break situations. Losing a customer, getting rejected, failing at a project, are all pretty minor speed bumps and most times they will not impact your life/business in any drastic way.

Life is composed of small incremental steps. It's important to keep an open-mind, learn, grow, and tread forward. As long as you do that it doesn't much matter much if you miss some steps, there will be plenty of opportunities to correct course when you stop to introspect.
