I see a crisis of expectations around me. People expecting more from the world, from their friends, from their lives, but not from themselves. Short term thinking builds poor foundations. I was born optimistic, and am a “Lifestyle” hard worker. I have always been harder on myself than I am on those around me and I get energy from helping people understand things (unfortunately, I understand fewer things than I think I do). I’m also super competitive. Basically, I truly believe I’m an average human in the world, but my timeline of thinking is longer than others. Which means, I try to care about enduring things rather than moments. I choose fewer things to care about, over a long period of time and I try not to get distracted with what others care about in every moment.
I could not agree more!
I like the last line. Another one I heard is that anger is like drinking poison to spite your enemy. They won't care and you'll end up sick.
Someone told me this week "You can do anything you want in life, but not everything. Prioritize accordingly."
