3 Ideas From Me

I.

“Improvement is being better than your past self.

It doesn’t have to be more complicated than that. Do not compare against others, compare against your past self.

Keep the focus internal.”

II.

“You can take things seriously without taking them personally.

Our tendency is to turn any criticism or complaint into a personal attack. We reply to it, defend against it, build a counter-argument, lose sleep over it.

You don’t have to eat everything that is served to you. You can respond to criticism without digesting criticism. Take what’s useful, do your best to improve, and leave the rest.”
