I don’t think you can handle rejection or failure. Notice how you feel when I say those things to you. Does part of you want to defend yourself? Well that’s what it feels like to fight for what you’re capable of. The opposite of that is to fight for your limitations. “I could never do that…” It’s also how you become a People Pleaser, a Procrastinator, a Perfectionist etc. Imagine how different your life would be if you stopped fighting for your limitations and instead started fighting for your empowering beliefs: “I’m capable of anything…” Stop wasting your energy by fighting for the enemy. Instead start defending yourself and what you’re capable of. Because just like Henry Ford said: “Whether you think you can or you can’t, either way you’re right.” Much love, PS: What I’m reading: The Boys in the Boat - Daniel Brown |

They influence your general mood. They are everywhere yet no one is talking about them: Memetic viruses. Contagious beliefs that hijack your thinking. These thought-viruses can come from anywhere: The news, social media, your parents, friends, colleagues, teachers, even well-meaning mentors… And once they’re in your mind,...
This Monday I did a very powerful exercise. I made myself a cup of coffee, set a timer for 30 mins and started writing down all the lessons I would give my 29 year old self (just before he quit his corporate job). I then cleaned them up a bit so he could print them out and put them on his fridge. This was the final edit:1) Don’t ask people for advice who aren’t living the life you want to live. 2) “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t either way you are right” - drill this quote...
