You are probably familiar with FOMO - the fear of missing out. It’s mostly a negative idea associated with seeing others have more fun than you on social media.

But have you heard about FOBO? This is the fear of better opportunities, and it is not your friend. FOBO makes it super hard to commit to anything. No one wants to sign up for something only to have a better option come along afterwards. That would be the worst.

Or would it? Making a commitment to a good thing is a good thing. Even if a better opportunity comes along later, there is still tons of value in being the type of person who makes and keeps commitments. Makes and keeps. Both are required.

The danger of FOBO is that you end up missing out on something really good. You wait too long for a better opportunity, and it ends up being too late in the end.

We do NOT want you to miss out, so we are trying to fuel the FOMO in order to get you past the paralysis of FOBO.

Serving on Launch Crew this spring break is a GREAT opportunity. Skiing is always fun. The beach is all kinds of sandy. But leading others as you serve some of the neediest people in the world is hard to top. Time is running out, but we have a few spots left.

Hundreds of students have served as FLT (formerly JSI) with us over the years, and it may be one of the best ways you could ever spend your summer. Serving alongside our missionary partners, leading 1.0 students, and immersing yourself into a new culture is something you don’t want to miss. The deadline to apply is this Friday! You are so close to missing out, but you don’t have to!

Looking for a different good opportunity? How about a 3.0 trip to northern Africa or any of our other trips this summer? Don’t miss it. And please send it to a friend in danger of missing out as well.
