Being on the hook is a generous feeling.

On the hook you are accountable.
On the hook all eyes are on you.
On the hook you could fail.
On the hook you could win.

There's a generous tension that pulls at you asking, "are you sure you want to do this? what if you're wrong?"

Well what if I'm right? What if I'm happy? What if making that decision actually helps myself and others? What if I learn something about myself? What if I become a more confident version of me?

Too often we're afraid of being wrong, not having a net to catch us, or unsure of how others react.

Not often enough are concerns for our happiness, and what that happiness means for us, and how we might use that to help others.

What we're on the hook for is not what could go wrong, but what we will do when things go right.
