Inescapable

FabrizioLeave a comment

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.

Very small step

FabrizioLeave a comment

When something seems to big to tackle, it’s ok to start with just a small part of it.

You don’t have to start with being a content creator, you can start with one post.

You don’t have to get straight into that difficult conversation, you can start by meeting on a different topic.

You don’t have to share the bad news with your dear ones, you can start by spending time with them.

Many hide instead, but there is immense value in starting with a very small step.

The lonely way

People will always try to get things their own way. It’s the shortest path to comfort.

Nobody likes to argue.

Nobody likes to compromise.

Nobody likes to change their mind or their ways.

Nobody likes a difficult conversation.

Nobody likes new.

People will always try to get things their own way, and you will try to get things your own way too.

But there’s no progress with holding onto your way when people around you, repeatedly, say they want something else.

You can still try to get things your way.

And you can go alone.
