The advice that's changed my life more and faster than anything:
Fail more.
It is a dialogue between you and reality that involves breaking down and rebuilding your identity again and again.
No overthinking.
Iteration, failure/feedback, & correction until it starts working.
You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction. 48 Perform work in this world, Arjuna, as a man established within himself – without selfish attachments, and alike in success and defeat. For yoga is perfect evenness of mind.
Eknath Easwaran • The Bhagavad Gita
“If you can or if you can’t, remember that you’re right.”
If you don’t actively direct your life and live based on your values, someone else will be directing your life based on their values. So, it’s paramount you identify how you want to live, and unabashedly, live that way. Make a ruckus.
Nothing is normal. Things just get normalized.

Every thing you say and every thing you do is just another REACTIVE piece to the SINGULAR thread that is your life. Therefore, your past isn’t different from who you are now, and who you are now isn’t different from your future.
