One day, a recruiter called me, said he\u2019d just found an opportunity that seemed like a good fit, and asked if I wanted to apply.\u00a0<\/p><p>I was skeptical and honestly questioned myself. I\u2019d been receiving rejections and had a few interviews that just didn\u2019t go well. I was scared to receive yet another \u2018no\u2019 and didn\u2019t want to keep dealing with the uncertainty. Well, I said yes anyway.\u00a0<\/p><p>Two months later and I\u2019ve been working at a company I now love as a UX writer.\u00a0<\/p><p>Every week, <strong>I try to say \u2018yes\u2019 to opportunities that scare me<\/strong>, like presenting my work in front of the entire UX department, tackling a site audit, and taking the lead on messaging requests from areas of the company I haven\u2019t learned about yet. I know these are the opportunities that will help me grow the most.<\/p><p>Ultimately, traveling taught me to say yes to opportunities that present themselves by surprise, especially the ones that sound scary but evoke that little tug of curiosity and excitement.<\/p><p>On a kayak tour in Croatia, I was paddling around an island when the tour guide asked if anyone wanted to take a detour to go cliff jumping.<\/p><p>During a study abroad in New Zealand, a couple of my classmates asked if I wanted to join them on our day off to go bungee jumping.<\/p><p>Were these opportunities scary?
