the obstacle is the way
🎄Steady your nerves
“When we aim high, pressure and stress obligingly come along for the ride. Stuff is going to happen that catches us off guard, threatens or scares us. Surprises (unpleasant ones, mostly) are almost guaranteed. The risk of being overwhelmed is always there. In these situations, talent is not the most sought-after characteristic. Grace and poise are because these two attributes precede the opportunity to deploy any other skill.”
🎄 Control your emotions
- When America was sending the first men into space, they trained astronauts in one skill more than any other: the art of NOT panicking. When people panic, they make mistakes.
- If an emotion can't change the situation you're dealing with, it is likely an unhelpful emotion.
