My (somewhat late) New Year's resolution has been to stop being afraid of the unknown and live fearlessly. In the past I've felt that I haven't made the changes I've wanted to because I was scared of what the unknown might bring. This past weekend, I attended a lecture where a Hollywood writer/producer spoke about how he created the life he wanted and got to where he is now, when just a decade or so ago he was a recent graduate of my college. Although it is sometimes easier to cower under one's own insecurities the only way to achieve your full potential is by leaping, in the words of Taylor Swift "headfirst, fearless"
