The older I get, the more I realize you can reinvent yourself as many times as you need. New standards. New habits. New mindsets. New people. New career. It's never too late. You can change. Today, tomorrow, and as many times as it takes to create the life you want.
Confidence doesn't come from believing in yourself. It comes from having done the uncomfortable thing enough times that your nervous system stops flagging it as an emergency. Because nothing is actually hard, it's just unfamiliar.
Mark Manson on how to win at life:
1. Commit to doing a hard thing.
2. Do the hard thing.
3. Feel good about doing the hard thing.
4. Become someone who enjoys doing hard things.
You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Looks, genetics, connections, dad's money, whatever.
There's nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.
