Some Advice for Me, and Maybe for You

Lately I’ve been thinking about forward motiontaking risks, and finding the next big thing.

Here’s some good advice I received (I added a bit to it) that might be helpful to you, too:

You think a lot about “leveling up,” but you’re missing an important point. You will not level up unless you’re able to manage the pressure. If you’re constantly stressed, you’re not ready for the next big thing.

So in the same way as you [insert your choice of previous success or experience], you have a chance to deeply impact people… but what that requires of you is that you are first deeply impacted.

That’s your task and next step. Not crushing it or working 80 hours a week all the time but learning to be impacted. Preparing to be changed.

The universe is ready to give this to you, but your hands aren’t strong enough to hold it. So it’s waiting for you to get ready, and you need to prepare for it.

Because this thing requires strength and responsibility, not just the ability to run an extra mile or get up an hour earlier. Going forward, you’ll have to give more, but you’ll have to give in a different way.
