6 reasons why you should go for it.

- it’s all or nothing
- who cares what others think
- you are strong enough to do hard things
- doing what you love makes success likely
- universe likes brave people who work through the period of uncertainty
someone told me yesterday that when they feel nervous about trying something new & their heart starts beating really fast, that they call it their “inner applause” because their body is cheering them on, and i think that’s the best narrative adjustment ever.
Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.
your relationship with discipline changes so much when you shift doing things from shame to love. from ‘i have to clean’ to realizing i deserve to have a clean home. from ‘i need to work out’ to i deserve to have a healthy body. you deserve to have the best from yourself.
be delusionally optimistic about your future. your mind will try to stop you. give you all kinds of reasons why you will fail. it's not the truth. it's fear. fear of uncertainty. do not fight it. just ignore it. believe that anything is possible. your belief is the spark that keeps you moving forward.

"When we understand that each day isn't one more day, but one less, we start giving more value to what truly matters and that hit hard"
