by

Facing a barrage of uncertainties can sometimes be overwhelming. The myriad 'what ifs' that cloud our thoughts can inhibit action and stifle growth. Enter the 'so what?' mindset. This perspective doesn't trivialise concerns; instead, it empowers us to confront them. By asking 'so what?', we shift from passive worry to active problem-solving. We begin to break down challenges into manageable pieces, seeking solutions and drawing up strategies.
