Three Key Points:

Forming groups of people who provide accountability and support is critical for you to become the best version of yourself. You want to surround yourself with like-minded and like-hearted people because it is virtually impossible to do it alone.

Your life isn’t a trial run, we only have one shot to make the most out of it. If you’re living everyday with hatred for what you do, and you’re not adding value to other people’s lives, then it may be time to reconsider what it is that you do. Life is fragile.

If you don’t believe in yourself, then why should others believe in you? Developing a can do attitude, and develop an attitude of “I’m afraid I’m going to miss this opportunity more than the fear of failing.”
