No matter what the current situation is, nobody likes change.
Your unique and innovative idea will be pointless if you fail to address this basic human fact.

What is wrong?
How many of the things we call our flaws, of the traits we don’t like about us, of the behaviors we want to hide, are such because we are in the wrong situation?
Are we really afraid of speaking in front of an audience, or is it because we have always spoken in front of the wrong audience?
Should we call ourselves temperamental, or is it because nobody has ever took a minute to explain what was happening?
Do we really reject close relationships, or is it because the people we have been close to have hurt us deeply?
Are you wrong, or is the situation wrong?
Should you change yourself, or should you change the people you are with, the things you are doing, the place you call home?
Always work on yourself.
And figuring out what is wrong is part of the process.
Inescapable
You might be able to achieve something average by putting in some average work. But to achieve something extraordinary you need to step out of your comfort zone. And that means you will feel discomfort, uneasiness, resistance, friction, awkwardness, and a whole lot of other not so pleasant things.
“Easy” and “talent” are stories sold by those who have already made it – to explain the unexplainable – or by those who have watched others make it – to keep their own chances up.
If you are in the process instead, you know that the simple rule is true and inescapable.
Not selfish
You owe it to others to spend time with yourself.
You owe it to those you love and to those you engage with. It’s not a selfish act. It helps you to feel confident and comfortable with whoever you are, which is something you ask others to do all the time. In relationships, at work, in casual conversations and encounters.
It starts with you.
A break
A break is not the end.
It’s not a tragedy.
It’s not a bad thing.
It’s not something impossible to fix.
It’s not something to feel guilty about.
It’s not something to make amend for.
A break is just a break. And sometimes, it’s a possible way forward.
