Day 999 - Day 539 - July.12.21 - Don’t live for anyone else

Focus on hitting your goals. Take in all the input you can from all the sources, but cut as much of the noise as possible. Focus on what you really want and everything will come. Be the best version of you possible and all the rewards will flow to you. People around you will benefit because if you’re operating as your best self, they’ll be better for it as well. Don’t live for anyone else or make decisions because of anyone else. Walk your own path even if it’s extremely lonely because it will be. When you try to do something that’s never been done before, you will be ridiculed and criticized for things you’re doing. Ignore the noise and just focus on being the best version of yourself. People like to push their opinions of the world on you but that’s all they are - opinions, not facts. If something feels scary to you, that’s your heart telling you to do it. I’m terrified of quitting my job to start writing full time but that’s exactly what you should be doing. Never live your life regretting decisions you didn’t make. Go all in on opportunities where you see asymmetric upside and adapt as you go along. The road will be bumpy and there will be lots of haters, but be thankful for them. It means you’re doing something right with your life.
