Do what's hard

Published: Tuesday, 02 April 2013

In Robogals, I always looked for the hardest possible thing to do.  And then I did it.

Because I knew that if I could achieve that, then I would attain a level of confidence in my abilities that would allow me to take on even bigger, more ambitious activities in the future.

I didn't know what I would be like at the end of the project.  I just knew I would be a better version of me.

About Me
