I've never heard this quote but love it: Work hard to become exceptional at whatever you choose. Because no one is special. But with time and effort and persistence, we can all achieve special things."

Thank you for this article, it was crazy to hear about some of these people that you would have no idea about

Thank you for sharing, Jason. I am glad it resonated. Time + effort + persistence = special things. I love that, too. I was so surprised when researching this one. I think, sometimes, we all need that reminder-we all are human 😂

This was exactly what I needed today. 🤍 At my best, I like to think of my anxiety as fuel, as a motivator, like Taylor Tomlinson said. (I need to check out her Netflix special!)

I'm glad to hear this helped, Courtney. That is such an excellent way to put it; I think it could be fuel if reframed 💕🌟

Gosh, it’s crazy that people would feel insecure after success. Thank you for sharing this.

There’s a piece I’m writing in my head about the discomfort of being bad at something you’ve just started, but perhaps there is going to be discomfort all along the way, we just have to make sure it doesn’t stop us and keep our on who we’re serving.

So relatable! Before I started with research, I also believed that discomfort would eventually settle and disappear. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. Yet, as you mentioned, the aim is to keep going despite discomfort, which I agree with. Thank you for sharing. I'm ever so grateful 🙏, and I look forward to your post on this topic 😊
