Baby Steps

CaseInterview.com

Some goals are overwhelming to the point where you feel frozen and unable to start. This is a sign that the magnitude of the goal is counterproductive.

Maybe everyone else isn’t faking it

Seth Godin Blog

Think about your most deeply-held beliefs. It’s entirely possible that someone who disagrees with you feels just as deeply. Consider your chronic aches, your devastating pain, your persistent allergy–it’s possible someone else has their own version of this, but different.
