“We’re pretty good at allowing our incorrect certainties to slowly fade into the background, without a crisis or reckoning. We gradually move on, now even more certain about the other things we’re certain of.
Resilience can be found by holding onto our certainties just a little less tightly. One way to do that is to remember just how often the old ones fade away.”
Stuff happens. Your stories about it determine whether it’s manageable or not.

i think too many people are assuming that they can turn on a "artist" switch after years of making money doing something. probably most confusing while working broadly in the creator world
don't underestimate how much the game you are playing changes who you are

It's easy to fall into the trap of feeling responsible for other people's emotions, reactions, and inner turmoil. We have an innate desire to be understood and accepted. So when others seem upset with us, judge us, or want us to change, we leap to explain, rationalize, and pacify. But in our quest to please or appease, we often lose ourselves. We diminish our needs and sacrifice our well-being. We are not accountable for how others interpret our words or actions. We are not tasked with managing their wounds, insecurities, and inner wars. It is a losing game to contort ourselves, trying to be who others wish we were. This will only lead to resentment and emotional depletion on our part. Know that setting firm boundaries, honoring your authenticity, and speaking your truth with love is sufficient. You are not required to make sure everyone understands or approves. You are not obligated to take on negative energy that is not yours. Your responsibility lies in staying aligned with your highest self. The rest will fall into place as it should.

My most effective life hack has been to learn to be with my inner experience, just as it is. It changes everything.
Unfortunately, most people want a more complicated solution and are dissatisfied with that answer.
I just sit with that. :)

Pessimists see problems. They worry about what could go wrong in the future.
Optimists see possibilities. They focus on what could go right in the future.
Proactive people turn problems into possibilities. They give us reasons to be optimistic about the future.

No amount of productivity will quench our inner fears about self-worth and helplessness.

When you're busy enough, "boredom" isn't a thing - it just feels like a break.
It's fantastic and rare.
A chance to think, to put things together in your head, be intentional with moves forward, and actually really wonderful.

Mastery is not a function of genius or talent; it is a function of time and intense focus applied to a particular field of knowledge.
