• Please remember that false conclusions about yourself and comparisons about yourself are just that. Please remember that what you do determines who you are, and not that your identity about yourself determines what you do. Notice any discouragement rising and do your best to ignore it, set it aside and say to yourself "even if I am [discouraging statement] I am going to give it a go." Please do not let what other people do determine your motivation in order to live free from a reactive lifestyle. Assumptions and comparisons about yourself does not need action taken on the basis of them. Take a step back and ask yourself "what is it about this that threatens me?" And then notice and restrict what creates distractions from motivations.

• It's okay to sail uncharted territories while you navigate your way around a new subject.
