Key Takeaway:

"I'm actually at a point in my life where, despite my fears, I am grateful to the universe for sending me clear signs. I'm not saying there aren't any fears; rather, we know that the true definition of courage isn't the absence of fear; rather, it's the choice to go through that fear, and that is courage. Everyone is capable; your past failed venture doesn't define you."
