Make your story bigger than just yourself. Find ways to bring something positive to others as often as possible. Seek the common good with the actions you take every day. Reading motivational and inspirational messages has been found to be a valuable tool for managing stress and improving overall mental health.
Why is it a good idea to read a lot? To achieve excellence in an area, you need to dedicate 10,000 hours of deliberate and focused practice to developing your skills. What 1 or 2 points attract your attention? What can you start doing? Write down 1 to 3 actions you can take this week to implement something from this post. Could you schedule it in your calendar? Say “I don't know” when you don't know. You don't know what you don't know.
Work on the biggest problems you can find. Don't worry about skills or luck. If you don't like something about yourself, change it. Consistency is more important than talent. If you can't be good, be a fool.
When you need to do rock and roll, rock and roll; when you need to be professional, be professional. You have to eat shit before you can eat steak. Time accumulates, so use it wisely. Everyone you'll meet knows something that you don't. Become the world's greatest expert on yourself.
Sometimes you have to accept that you're not good enough, and that's okay. Don't fill out online surveys, seriously. You don't always have to say yes. Don't worry about what others think, only about the people you respect. Never go back to the same job or company. Do it now, because 10 years from now you'll keep thinking about it.
In reality, people never act against you, they only seek the best outcome for themselves. What other people do, feel and think has nothing to do with you. You are as busy as you would like to be. Don't hide mistakes, emphasize them. Everyone makes it up as they go along.
When in doubt, bake a cake and share it with someone. Be careful what you want. Don't get upset if they don't follow your advice. Failure doesn't mean you're a failure. Don't get between the brown bear and the cubs.
Councils are just people who talk to past versions of themselves.
