bigger idiots than you have done it. seriously. a lot of the things you think require extraordinary talent, intelligence or perfect timing were done by people who were just stubborn enough to keep going when it would’ve been easier to quit. you don’t need to be the smartest person in the room. you don’t need to know exactly what you’re doing. you don’t even need to feel confident. sometimes you just need to be too stupid to give up. keep learning. keep failing. keep adjusting. keep showing up. because the person who refuses to quit eventually becomes the person who looks like they always knew what they were doing. sometimes being too stupid to quit is all it takes.

The older I get, the more I realize that most of my problems are not mysteries. They are negotiations. I know what to do. I simply don’t want to pay the price yet.
