When you extend beyond your domain, you stretch past your comfort zone and find things you have never met before. It’s the way you learn, and it’s also the way you collapse under the weight of everything that is new.
Your purpose is your capstone.

What to aim for
The biggest problem with self-help books, business reviews, parenting blogs, marketing podcasts is that they give you a kick when your mind is at peace and make you feel awful the exact same moment things get hectic and you fail to follow their advice.
Hearing about what somebody else has done in similar circumstances is not going to shield us from pain, frustration, anger, and thousands of other feelings when the situation comes to us.
Life is tough, no matter what.
Finding your way, the way you can call your own and be proud of, is what you should aim for.
The good enough time
We know we should add the salary ranges to our job ads, but we are reviewing the salary level for internal employees and we do not want to send the wrong message. As soon as we are done with that …

The fact is, there’s never a perfect time to do the things we are supposed to do.
There’s a good enough time though.
It is now.
Nothing personal
Other people’s success is nothing more than what it says it is: the success of someone who is not you.
It’s not your success, neither it is your failure. It’s not a missed opportunity and it is not less opportunities. It’s not your merit, it’s not your fault, it’s not your reward, it’s not your punishment.
It’s nothing personal.
Cherish other people’s success as vividly as you cherish your own.
The two go hand in hand.
Good at something
If you are really good at something, there’s no reason to make others feel bad for not being at your same level.
Lift them up instead, or at the very least show them a new way to think, to act, to relate, to commit.
You’ll make your good worth it.
