By constantly putting myself out there, challenging myself at work, and trying out new activities I have learned a few things about failure and how to handle it with a more constructive and kind approach.
First of all, failure is feedback showing what didn’t work and how to tweak it…
Putting labels on others based on quick glimpses is something that we all do, more or less, especially on social media. Because it allows us to quickly make sense of others.
However, when you put a label on people, it limits how you view them. It also limits your curiosity…
Everywhere we can read about transformational journeys. People share “how it started” and “how it ended” to show the trajectory of their personal growth journeys.
But why is it so little written about the “in-between” phase?
About the fact that most of people’s lives in trying to achieve their own…
Everyone has traits that ruin things for them in life.
Some people believe that these traits are the inherent part of their personality. Which is fair enough.
The others are convinced that their character is under the influence of their star sign. That is completely understandable too because it makes talking about…
Don’t wait to respond to text messages.
Don’t purposefully act aloof.
Don’t act like you don’t care.
Don’t be unemotional.
Don’t hold back.

Because not only it stops you from progressing, it actually just drags you back and then turns you into an enteral moaner and chronic complainer.
