This quote emphasizes the importance of taking risks and stepping outside your comfort zone so you can achieve your full potential.

Publish your book.

If you know in your heart you need to write your book – even if you’ve tried and failed before – then grab onto your courage. Take the first step forward so you can turn your dream of writing a book into your published reality.
