Making a big life change is pretty scary. But know what's even scarier? Regret.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Life changes can be intimidating, but the fear of regretting inaction is greater.
Zig Ziglar highlights the fear associated with making significant changes in life, suggesting that while taking risks can feel daunting, the fear of living with regret for not taking those risks is even more profound. The quote encourages individuals to confront their fears and embrace necessary changes rather than allowing opportunities to slip away, as the long-term consequences of regret can be far more uncomfortable than the temporary discomfort of change.

If you walk into a room, and there is no one that's not like you there, whether it's a woman or a person of color, anyone that's different from you, you should be able to say this is a problem. We need allies in that room to say that video, this room, this company, these ideas, this film, this whatever, this is not right - this is not good enough.
