This is such a great post. I’d fallen into the trap of assuming everything I do had to suck, and it became a self fulfilling prophecy that created nothing but resistance. Even things that were supposed to be enjoyable turned into a slog. But it’s possible to enjoy things AND achieve massive success - if anything, enjoying what you do significantly increases the chances of success.

yeah i do think that if you are solely anchored to extrinsic "proof" of success, you're just setting yourself up for failure
honestly I think one of the best things you can do is find others to befriend who are marching to their own internal compass - basically people like you haha

I think many people, including myself, have gone through this - very cool to hear that you’ve shifted out of it
it seems necessary to redefine success in this approach. wondering how you think of it now?
