Recognize when you’re at your emotional limits
I have beef with the 1% that would defend cockroaches! 😡
You really will find your passion. Even if it’s not something typical, even if others don’t understand it. There’s something in the world calling to you, and when you find that joyful thing follow it! It’s so easy to tell ourselves we just don’t have a passion, but you do! It doesn’t have to be about work, or success. If it makes your heart light up, that is enough.

Me: Go to lunch with you on Tuesday? Oh, I can’t I’m busy on Tuesday. On Tuesday I have to send The Email.
Tuesday Morning:

Me: okay! Day has begun! But it’s lunchtime so I’d better get some lunch.
Tuesday 5 o’clock:

Me: good point. I should write The Email
Me: *doesn’t write The Email*
Tuesday 11pm:
