💭 You don't need goals to be happy
When you decided to do something, make sure it is something that you really want to do.
Don't do it because someone told you to.
Don't do it to fulfil other people's expectations. Do it for your own happiness.
🚫 Leadership habits to eliminate
Zero-sum mindset
Sense of entitlement
Being motivated by compliments
Relationship with pure takers
Name dropping to impress
Telling people how busy you are
Quitting for no logical reason
Pretending you know
Keeping grudges
The moment that you feel, just possibly, you are walking down the street naked, exposing too much of your heart and your mind, and what exists on the inside, showing too much of yourself...
That is the moment, you might be starting to get it right.
—Neil Gaiman
Until next week,
